The Design
About Madison Nohoanga Okiokinga
Ko Madison he nohoanga okiokinga i hangaia hei nohoanga mō ngā pakeke tokotoru pea. Ko te anga i hangaia mai i te rākau pī Tiamana pakupaku, ā, ko ngā tūāpapa porowhita mai i te maitai kore-waikura, ā, ko te nohoanga kua whakapaipaitia ki te hupa kiko-nui. Ko ngā hononga mortise me te tenon te whakarato kaha, i te wā e hanga ana ngā waewae koki me te nohoanga angiangi i tētahi āhua māmā. Nā ngā whakamātautau i whakapūmau ka taea e te nohoanga te pupuri tae atu ki te 300 kirokaramu i roto i te whakamahinga o ia rā. Ko ngā mehua o te nohoanga he 1300 mm te whānui, 450 mm te hōhonu me te 370 mm te teitei. Ko te āhua e whakamahara ana ki te hoahoa waka o te mutunga o ngā tau 1950, ā, e tau ana ki ngā rūma o roto o ēnei rā.

- 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.
