The Design
About Madison Loungebenk
Madison er en loungebenk designet for å sitte inntil tre voksne. Rammen er laget av massivt tysk bøketre med sylindriske støtter i rustfritt stål, og setet er polstret med skum med høy tetthet. Tapp- og hullskjøter gir styrke, mens de skråstilte bena og det slanke setet skaper et lett uttrykk. Testing har bekreftet at benken tåler opptil 300 kilogram ved daglig bruk. Benken måler 1300 mm i bredde, 450 mm i dybde og 370 mm i høyde. Formen minner om bildesign fra slutten av 1950-tallet og passer godt inn i moderne interiører.

- 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.
