About Madison Bangku Lounge
Madison adalah bangku lounge yang dirancang untuk menampung hingga tiga orang dewasa. Rangkanya terbuat dari kayu beech Jerman solid dengan penyangga silindris berbahan baja nirkarat, dan dudukannya dilapisi busa berdensitas tinggi. Sambungan purus dan lubang (mortise and tenon) memberikan kekuatan, sementara kaki bersudut dan dudukan yang ramping menciptakan kesan ringan. Pengujian memastikan bahwa bangku ini mampu menahan beban hingga 300 kilogram dalam penggunaan sehari-hari. Bangku ini berukuran lebar 1300 mm, kedalaman 450 mm, dan tinggi 370 mm. Bentuknya mengingatkan pada desain mobil akhir era 1950-an dan selaras dengan interior kontemporer.

- 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.
