About “Sling-Thing”
Sitting on the “Sling-Thing”, one finds themselves nestled comfortably
amongst the softened-edge plywood which is supported by an
unapologetically bold “x” shaped extruded frame.
The leather sling weaves through the plywood forming an accented
detail when viewed from its sides and the generous armrests are wide
enough to place objects such as a cold beverage.
With its flat packing design and ease of replacibility in components
such as the sling and backrest upholstery, the “Sling-Thing” ensures
a design which is mindfuly considered for sustainability from factory
and beyond
