About Madison Benchi ya Kupumzikia
Madison ni benchi ya kupumzikia iliyoundwa kuketisha hadi watu wazima watatu. Muundo wake umetengenezwa kwa mbao thabiti za mwaloni wa Kijerumani (beech) zikiwa na nguzo za kuzunguka za chuma cha pua kisichoshika kutu, huku kiti kikiwa kimefunikwa na povu (foam) lenye msongamano wa juu. Viungo vya aina ya mortise na tenon huipa nguvu, wakati miguu iliyoegemea kwa mteremko na kiti chembamba vinaunda mwonekano mwepesi. Majaribio yalithibitisha kuwa benchi hii inaweza kubeba uzito wa hadi kilogramu 300 katika matumizi ya kila siku. Benchi hii ina upana wa milimita 1300, kina cha milimita 450 na urefu wa milimita 370. Umbo lake linakumbusha muundo wa magari ya mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1950 na linaendana vizuri na mapambo ya ndani ya kisasa.

- 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.
