About Cosmic Lounge stolica
Cosmic je lounge stolica dizajnirana za dnevne sobe. Ugaone linije Cosmic-a podsećaju na futurističke rakete iz 1960-ih i zadnje blatobrane automobila iz 1959. godine, u kombinaciji sa otmenim izgledom stolica iz viktorijanske epohe. Struktura nema pravih uglova. Višeslojni jastuk sa električnom podrškom prilagođava se različitim tipovima tela. Baza je izrađena od nemačkog bukovog drveta i sastavljena je sa okvirom od masivnog drveta topole i ugaonim aluminijumskim ojačanjima. Tapaciranje je ručno završeno. Cosmic ima dimenzije 700 mm širine, 820 mm dubine i 760 mm visine.

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.
