DB is the Spanish acronym for \u201cDiamante en Bruto\u201d (rough diamond). Elena and Esther Casta\u00f1o have joked about this nickname for years, every time they settled into an old prototype designed by her father. Every summer, the huge, comfortable armchair wrapped around them while reading or taking a nap. They always said: \"We don\u2019t understand why it wasn\u2019t presented in society! With some small tweaks, it would fit perfectly into Sancal's catalogue. It's a rough diamond to be polished ...\"<\/p>\n
So, after a slight re-styling and upgrade, DB is ready to be enjoyed by anyone.<\/p>\n
Its diagonal and faceted angles, even applied to the legs, remind us of the precious stone. On the other hand, its stern lines lend themselves to the product\u2019s \"rough\" surname.<\/p>\n
