PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The choice of tornillo wood (Cedrelinga catenaeformis is a popular hardwood in Peru) and peruvian national velvet for the design of this furniture primarily focuses on functionality, sustainability, and cultural connection. Tornillo wood is notable for its strength, durability, and warm aesthetic, making it ideal for structures requiring stability and longevity. Peruvian velvet, on the other hand, provides a unique sensory experience with its softness and elegance, enhancing the interaction and connection with the chair through thoughtful design.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The chair has been designed with precise specifications, combining functionality, ergonomics, and aesthetics. With a total height of 85 cm, a width of 75 cm, and a depth of 56.5 cm, this piece provides a spacious and comfortable structure, suitable for various settings. The 45 cm backrest is carefully crafted to offer ergonomic support, featuring a curvature that promotes healthy posture.
These dimensions ensure an optimal user experience, enhanced by high-quality materials such as tornillo wood and Peruvian velvet. These materials not only add durability and comfort but also reflect a commitment to sustainable and conscious design.
