| DESIGN NAME: Madison PRIMARY FUNCTION: Lounge Bench 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. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This comfortable bench has a good size to sit up to 3 persons, and at the same time it has a light and beautiful design. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: 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. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 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. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
