About Arc Guitar Stand
Arc is a guitar stand designed to hold a guitar in a stable upright position. The stand is made of ash wood. The arc strips are shaped by laminated bending and are then connected with joints to form a triangular structure. The triangular body keeps the guitar steady during storage. The form was inspired by modern architecture and by space design, with attention to structures that are not over-decorated. The simple shape allows the stand to suit contemporary interiors, where it can serve both as a tool and as a decorative object.
