About Zero सूर्यशयनासनम्

शून्यम् इति बाह्यक्षेत्राणां कृते निर्मितं मॉड्युलर-सूर्यशयनासनम् अस्ति। आसनं वर्तुलाकार-आधारे विश्राम्यति, यः शयनासनं सन्तुलयति शिल्पात्मकं तत्त्वं च रचयति। वर्तुलः द्वयोः मॉड्युलर-दैर्घ्ययोः, ०.९० मीटर् १.८० मीटर् च, उपलभ्यते, अतः एकं शयनासनम् अथवा अनेकानि एककानि संयोजयितुं शक्यन्ते। खण्डाः विपरीतपार्श्वयोः अथवा समानपार्श्वे स्थापयितुं शक्यन्ते, ये गृहेषु, अतिथिगृहेषु तरणकुण्डक्षेत्रेषु च अनेकान् विन्यासान् अनुकूलयन्ति। वर्तुलः घन-कुमारु-काष्ठेन निर्मितः, यः एल्युमिनियम-केन्द्रे स्क्रूद्वारा बद्धः। ढालितम् एल्युमिनियम-आसनं सुखाय शरीररचनानुसारं वक्रम् अस्ति।

Unique Properties
The solution for this type of furniture has an originality that piques curiosity, the tubular piece is modular, has a measure of 0.90m in length or its multiple with 1.80m, which makes it possible to have a single lounger or several, the pieces can be arranged on opposite sides or on the same side, favoring any type of environment and layout, and can be used in a residence, a hotel, a swimming pool area, among others.
Dimensions & Packaging
The cylinder has two modular dimensions, 0.90 meters X 0.50 diameter or 1.80 meters X 0.50 diameter, and the deckchair is 0.70 wide X 2.30 long X 0.15 cm high from the floor.
Tags
Brazilian wood, comfortable lounger, new design, unique solution for a lounger, sculptural design, external area, resistant.
Production Technology
The cylindrical part is composed of solid Cumaru wood, a resistant Brazilian wood that has a good performance in the external area, the slatted wood is screwed to an internal aluminum core. The lounger was molded in aluminum, received electrostatic painting and synthetic cast canvas. The seat has an anatomical curve, which provides comfort to the user.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was to find the right and comfortable curve for the user to lie on the piece.
Research
The research took place in the main field of finding the necessary comfort and angle for the curve of the chaise, it was necessary to simulate the body in a semi-lying position to find the position, after this search for the best design, it was necessary to study the best way to structure the two pieces, the cylinder that needed a metallic soul, and the deck chair that needed reinforcement on the bottom, but in a convex shape so as not to touch the user's body and bring discomfort.
Inspiration
The simple geometry of the circle inspired the creation of this product, which was born from a free sketch. The main piece, which is a seat, rests on the tubular piece, which in addition to supporting and balancing the lounger, creates a provocative and sculptural element.
Project Duration
The project was conceived in September 2018 in São Paulo, the prototype started in September 2019 in São Paulo, being presented at the launch of the Mais 55 Design brand in São Paulo in June 2020 through a live presentation on Casa Vogue Brasil's Instagram.
Operation Flow
The main piece, which is the sun lounger, has a curve in the headboard that does not reach the floor, the piece's sustenance occurs in the fitting and support of the cylindrical piece, thus forming a harmonious set between two different materials, with different shapes.
