About Cosmic Seza Fialan-tsasatra

Cosmic dia seza fialan-tsasatra natao ho an'ny efitrano fandraisam-bahiny. Ny tsipika sarangotra ao amin'ny Cosmic dia mampahatsiahy ny lakana mifamoivoy mifahatra ho amin'ny hoavy tamin'ny taona 1960 sy ny sisin-tara ao aoriana amin'ny fiara tamin'ny 1959, miaraka amin'ny endrika ambony an'ny seza tamin'ny vanim-potoana Victoria. Tsy manana zoro efa-joro ny rafitra. Misy ondana misosona maromaro miaraka amin'ny fanohanana elektrika izay mifanaraka amin'ny endri-batana samihafa. Ny fototra dia vita amin'ny hazo beech alemana ary voavory miaraka amin'ny rafitra vita amin'ny hazo poplar matevina sy fanamafisana aluminium sarangotra. Ny fandrakofana lamba dia vitan-tanana ny famaranana azy. Ny refin'ny Cosmic dia 700 mm ny sakany, 820 mm ny halaliny ary 760 mm ny hahavony.

Tags: Living room, comfortable, lounge chair, cosmic, relaxed position, ergonomic
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.
