About Madison Loungebænk
Madison er en loungebænk designet til at give plads til op til tre voksne. Rammen er lavet af massivt tysk bøgetræ med cylindriske støtter i rustfrit stål, og sædet er polstret med højdensitetsskum. Not- og fersamlinger giver styrke, mens de vinklede ben og det slanke sæde skaber et let udtryk. Test har bekræftet, at bænken kan bære op til 300 kilogram ved daglig brug. Bænken måler 1300 mm i bredden, 450 mm i dybden og 370 mm i højden. Formen minder om bildesign fra slutningen af 1950'erne og passer til nutidige interiører.

- Production Technology
- Built in solid German Beech wood, with stainless steel cylindrical supports and upholstered with high density foam. The joint system is mortise and tenon, using Italian high end machinery.
- Design Challenge
- To achieve a visual lightness on the structure, without losing resistance.
- Research
- The design of the joinery and the angles of the structure were studied and tested carefully so that this piece could withstand daily use and up to 300 kg of weight without breaking. 4 prototypes were built.
- Inspiration
- Part of the Cosmic collection inspired on the cars around 1959. The angle of the legs resembles a rising rocket, and the upholstered surface seems to float upon four metal cylinders that supports it, providing the illusion of an airplane wing. The collection expresses modernism and the spatial idealism present in the early 60's, with a modern and renovated twist that provides a contrast to the upholstery which makes it suitable in almost any contemporary style.
- Project Duration
- This project took 10 weeks from the first sketches to the final prototype for mass production, made in the laboratory and prototype design in Mérida, Yucatán, México.
- Operation Flow
- These lightweight forms provide sufficient strength and size to accommodate up to three adults, sitting without a problem and at the same time it is easy to carry and move.
