- Production Technology
- Long term - that is the motto of CoTangens production. A respect for nature, the use of sustainable materials, recycling and circularity are all important values for us. The high-quality materials withstand constant load, and the covers’ zip-fastened solution makes changing easy – whether for cleaning or changing the color. CoTangens was built to last in any kind of weather. The pillows are made of special outdoors material, waxed and water repellent. Bananatex is the world’s first durable, technical fabric made purely from the naturally grown Abacá banana plants. A perfect circular design product, long lasting and degradable at the end of the life cycle. The frames have been sintered for outdoors, with a special UV resistant powder. They are uni-molded, keeping water 100% out. The sitting surface materials are coconut and heterogeneous recycled foam.
- Design Challenge
- Working with Banantex material had its challenges, especially with the round pillow. The natural wax layer is much thicker, than a regular sewing shops is accustomed to. Wide research in sewing technologies and shops was conducted, and we ended up with strong and weatherproof solutions. Tests approved our decisions, but it took a leap of faith and commitment from both design and production sides.

- Inspiration
- By the post-pandemic era, our communal activities have significantly shifted outdoors. CoTangens is a furniture family inspired by this shift, bringing the beauty, comfort and practicality of indoors furniture out to the sun. For the individual and the community alike, with strong character yet endless variability.
- Project Duration
- The project was created from September 2021 to March 2022 in Budapest and Tata cities in Hungary, within the framework of Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency's DesignLab incubator program - which aim is to connect manufacturers with designers in product development processes. In this project we developed the opportunity of using the Bananatex fabric outdoors with partnership of the Bananatex team.
- Operation Flow
- From exclusive environments to laid back chill-out bars, CoTangens works with a variety of man- made environments. Graceful and non-intrusive, yet its geometric forms coupled with their shadows create a modern, a graphic character.
The fretty, see-through construction makes way for the beauty nature, making the furniture fit any place without changing its ambience. The elements will harmonise with their carefully matched Earth tone color palette and structurally matching designs. - Patents
