About Cosmic Kiti cha Kupumzikia
Cosmic ni kiti cha kupumzikia kilichoundwa kwa ajili ya vyumba vya kuishi. Mistari ya pembeni ya Cosmic inakumbusha roketi za kifikra za baadaye za miaka ya 1960 na sehemu za nyuma za magari ya mwaka 1959, ikiunganishwa na muonekano wa hadhi wa viti vya enzi ya Victoria. Muundo huu hauna pembe za mraba. Mto wenye tabaka nyingi wenye msaada wa kielektroniki hubadilika kulingana na maumbo tofauti ya mwili. Msingi wake umetengenezwa kwa mbao za mhesabu wa Kijerumani (beech) na kukusanywa pamoja na fremu ya mbao imara ya poplar na viimarisho vya alumini vya pembeni. Upholsteri imemaliziwa kwa mkono. Cosmic ina vipimo vya upana wa milimita 700, kina cha milimita 820, na urefu wa milimita 760.

- The design of the manufacturing process, with high-tech machinery took a series of prototypes for maximum performance of the materials and the optimization of process automation. The piece was completely finished by hand in the upholstery, providing a particular character.
- Research
- Laboratory tests and vector engineering studies were necessary to achieve that the angular lines connect in a reliable and durable way. The cushion system took a special study to allow perfect ergonomics.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the fashion current “atom punk”, this piece has the noble visage of the Victorian era chairs, while showing the angular and dynamic lines of the 60’s futuristic rockets.
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.
- Operation Flow
- The amplitude and ergonomics of the chair allows various types of accommodation for an average person. It can be used as a rest or reading chair. The design provides a very modern architectural style for retro modern spaces.
