About Madison Bangku Santai
Madison minangka bangku santai sing dirancang kanggo lungguh nganti telung wong diwasa. Rangka digawe saka kayu beech Jerman padhet kanthi penyangga silinder saka baja tahan karat, lan dhudhukan lungguh dilapisi busa kapadhetan dhuwur. Sambungan mortise lan tenon menehi kekuatan, dene sikil sing dimiringake lan dhudhukan lungguh sing tipis nyiptakake tampilan sing entheng. Uji coba negesake yen bangku iki bisa nahan bobot nganti 300 kilogram sajrone panganggone saben dinane. Bangku iki ukurane 1300 mm ing lebar, 450 mm ing jero lan 370 mm ing dhuwur. Wangune ngelingake desain mobil pungkasan taun 1950-an lan cocog kanggo 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.
