About Madison Bank tal-Lounge

Il-Madison hija bank tal-lounge iddisinjat biex jilqa' sa tliet adulti bilqiegħda. L-istruttura hija magħmula mill-injam solidu tal-fagu Ġermaniż b'appoġġi ċilindriċi tal-azzar inossidabbli, u s-sit huwa mgħotti bil-mensola bir-ragħwa ta' densità għolja. Il-ġunturi mortise u tenon jipprovdu saħħa, filwaqt li r-riġlejn inklinati u s-sit irqiq joħolqu dehra ħafifa. L-ittestjar ikkonferma li l-bank jista' jġorr sa 300 kilogramma fl-użu ta' kuljum. Il-bank ikejjel 1300 mm fil-wisa', 450 mm fil-fond u 370 mm fl-għoli. Il-forma tfakkar fid-disinn tal-karozzi tal-aħħar tas-snin ħamsin u taqbel mal-interjuri kontemporanji.

Unique Properties: This comfortable bench has a good size to sit up to 3 persons, and at the same time it has a light and beautiful design.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1300mm W x 450mm D x 370mm H
Tags: Modernism, spatial idealism, lounge bench, decorative, furniture
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.
