CP_58 daybed has a modern footprint mixed with clean and measured geometrical shapes. Industrial structures used as a theme has inspired the design of the leg with variable sections, conceived to meet the following constructive and aesthetic issues: to lighten the daybed touching the floor on a flat and thin support; to provide the diagonal shafts with enough inertia to bear the solicitations; conveying harmonious simplicity emerge from this complex structure.
The shell outline draws its inspiration from big metal structures interpreting the trusses-concept largely used in bridges and industrial constructions. In light of the above mentioned insights, a pure and non-ornamented leg form has been developed: the steel structure evokes a functional luxury feeling. The supporting metal structure of CP_58 works as a hybrid thanks to a "reticular beam", composed of rods stressed by axial force only, bearing the four portions enclosed by triangular feet(compression in the variable section struts ‘ref.5’ and traction in the two coupled plates that act as tie rod ‘ref.3’) and a "simply inflected beam" bearing the central portion where the two coupled plates ‘ref.3’ work exclusively as bending elements. With regard to the aforementioned, the supporting structure works in the direction parallel to the long side of CP_58 for vertical loads and for horizontal loads. For horizontal loads acting in the perpendicular direction all the elements are subjected to bending stress in particular: the two foot rods work as “shelves” while the four stiffening crosspieces ‘ref.6’ are "beam supported with concentrated pairs at the ends”.
Characterised by a mirror polished base with a visual sense of dematerialisation and lightness contrasting the warm nuances of the PEFC™Afromosia wood seat support and the black leather cushion. The innovative shell manufacturing systems technology has been combined with an high degree of craftsmanship exalted by the crocodile print leather, assembled ensuring duration and aesthetic quality over time.
