About Madison Scamnum Cubatorium
Madison est scamnum cubatorium ad tres adultos sedendos usque destinatum. Structura ex solido ligno fagi Germanici cum columnis cylindricis chalybis inoxidabilis facta est, et sedile spuma alta densitate revestitum est. Iuncturae cardinis et cavi firmitatem praebent, dum crura obliqua et sedile gracile speciem levem creant. Probatio confirmavit scamnum usque ad 300 chiliogrammata in usu cotidiano sustinere. Scamnum 1300 mm latitudine, 450 mm altitudine profunda et 370 mm altitudine metitur. Forma designationem autocinetorum finis annorum 1950 revocat et interioribus contemporaneis convenit.

- Tags

- 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.
