About Cosmic Cathaoir Suaimhnis

Is cathaoir shuaimhnis é Cosmic a ceapadh do sheomraí suí. Cuireann línte uilleacha Cosmic roicéid fháistineacha na 1960idí agus fiaraí cúil charranna 1959 i gcuimhne dúinn, in éineacht le cuma uasal chathaoireacha ré Victeoiriach. Níl aon uillinneacha cearnacha sa struchtúr. Oiriúnaíonn cúisín ilsraitheach le tacaíocht leictreach do chineálacha éagsúla coirp. Tá an bhonnchóip déanta as adhmad feá Gearmánach agus cuirtear le chéile í le fráma déanta as adhmad crainn phoibleoige agus le neartuithe alúmanaim uilleacha. Críochnaítear an t-uacht-éadach de láimh. Tomhaiseann Cosmic 700 mm ar leithead, 820 mm ar doimhneacht agus 760 mm ar airde.

Production Technology: The built in base is made with German beech wood, and is assembled with a structure of solid poplar wood using aluminum angular reinforcements. All fit together to allow for maximum strength and timely follow-up to the intended design.
Design Challenge: The design of the manufacturing process, with high-tech machinery took a series of prototypes for maximum performance of the materials and the optimization of process automation. The piece was completely finished by hand in the upholstery, providing a particular character.
Research: Laboratory tests and vector engineering studies were necessary to achieve that the angular lines connect in a reliable and durable way. The cushion system took a special study to allow perfect ergonomics.
Inspiration: Inspired by the fashion current “atom punk”, this piece has the noble visage of the Victorian era chairs, while showing the angular and dynamic lines of the 60’s futuristic rockets.

The vertices emulate the rear fenders of the 1959 cars, and its structure has no square angles, which gives it a very impressive dynamism that requires being the center of attention in any room.
Project Duration: This project took 16 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: The amplitude and ergonomics of the chair allows various types of accommodation for an average person. It can be used as a rest or reading chair. The design provides a very modern architectural style for retro modern spaces.
