Furniture / Household Appliances / Furniture design
Spanish term or phrase: sileno
El texto trata del diseño de un mueble. La palabra *sileno* no está en DRAE. Necesito saber si alguien sabe cómo traducirla. Gracias

En una sutil “integración”, para usar el último de los cuatro conceptos de invariantes en diseño de José Baltanás, el mueble Fuelle -con el carácter de verdadero *sileno*- aparece en una concepción cuidada de una multiplicidad sensible, como metáfora de esperadas cualidades humanas: la discreción, la seducción, el encanto, la superación, confianza y belleza.

agree  Adam Burman: This is what I found too - from the Greek. Still not sure what the exact style would be. Kind regards.
