About Madison Suíochán Seomra Suí

Is suíochán seomra suí é Madison atá deartha chun suí suas le triúr aosach. Tá an fráma déanta as adhmad soladach feá Gearmánach le tacaí sorcóireacha cruach dhosmálta, agus tá an suíochán cumhdaithe le stuáil déine ard. Cuireann altanna mortaise agus tionúr neart ar fáil, agus cruthaíonn na cosa fiara agus an suíochán caol cuma éadrom. Dhearbhaigh tástáil go bhfuil an suíochán in ann suas le 300 cileagram a iompar in úsáid laethúil. Tomhaiseann an suíochán 1300 mm ar leithead, 450 mm ar doimhneacht agus 370 mm ar airde. Cuireann an fhoirm i gcuimhne dearadh gluaisteán ó dheireadh na 1950idí agus feileann sé d'iontérieir chomhaimseartha.

Modernism, spatial idealism, lounge bench, decorative, furniture
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.
