About Madison Lounge klupa

Madison je lounge klupa dizajnirana za sjedenje do tri odrasle osobe. Okvir je izrađen od masivnog njemačkog bukovog drva s cilindričnim nosačima od nehrđajućeg čelika, dok je sjedalo presvučeno pjenom visoke gustoće. Spojevi čep i utor osiguravaju čvrstoću, dok kutno postavljene noge i vitko sjedalo stvaraju dojam lakoće. Testiranja su potvrdila da klupa izdrži do 300 kilograma pri svakodnevnoj upotrebi. Klupa je široka 1300 mm, duboka 450 mm i visoka 370 mm. Oblik podsjeća na dizajn automobila s kraja 1950-ih i uklapa se u suvremene interijere.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: This comfortable bench has a good size to sit up to 3 persons, and at the same time it has a light and beautiful design.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1300mm W x 450mm D x 370mm H
Tags: 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.
