edra - Standway modular sofa

It is a rigid nest of "coral", with a wide seat formed by the irregular interweaving of stainless steel wire bent by hand: a procedure that determines the uniqueness of each piece. The more than 900 welds are cleaned, rounded and then brushed by hand one by one, to avoid roughnesses or sharp points: a work of such complexity and artistic dexterity that it takes a whole week. Perfect both indoors and outdoors.
