About Cosmic Počivalnik
Cosmic je počivalnik, zasnovan za dnevne sobe. Kotaste linije Cosmic spominjajo na futuristične rakete iz šestdesetih let 20. stoletja in zadnja blatnike avtomobilov iz leta 1959, združene z elegantnim videzom stolov iz viktorijanske dobe. Struktura nima pravih kotov. Večplastna blazina z električno podporo se prilagaja različnim telesnim tipom. Podnožje je izdelano iz nemškega bukovega lesa in sestavljeno z okvirjem iz masivnega topolovega lesa ter kotastimi aluminijastimi ojačitvami. Oblazinjenje je ročno dodelano. Cosmic meri 700 mm v širino, 820 mm v globino in 760 mm v višino.

The vertices emulate the rear fenders of the 1959 cars, and its structure has no square angles, which gives it a very impressive dynamism that requires being the center of attention in any room. - Project Duration
- This project took 16 weeks from the first sketches to the final prototype for mass production, made in the laboratory and prototype design in Mérida, Yucatán, México.
