Original design fireside chair DETECMA

fabricergonomicgray

Its name, an acronym for design, Technique and Mathematics, identifies by itself some of the characteristics that make this seat unique. These three values were united for the first time in 1967, the year when the Physicist Professor Tullio Regge, renown as one of the most influential scientific thinkers of the XX century, transformed a mathematical quartic function into a volume with intentionally ergonomie characteristics. It was an epic event to which Gufram decided to pay tribute by putting again into production a seat, which has revolutionized the history of design through its planning approach. Detecma was the first décor item to be designed using an electronic calculator, and its shape stems from a parametric “open source” mathematical formula taken from the Dupin cyclide. The resuit is an organic and ergonomie shape made of soft polyuréthane, a recliner that breaks free from the models of the category and déniés any formai définition; a recliner sitting on the floor, part pouf, part chaise longue, that gives life to a precursory image of a way of seeing living, as well as an interior design project that would become a mass phenomenon only a few décades later. Its gradient colours cover the entire chromatic spectrum in an explosive célébration of full tones and perfectly blended nuances. Six versions that, put together, return ail the tones in the world. And, in order to apply such colourful quantity and accuracy on an object, Gufram commits to the textile print high tech provided by Sublitex of the Miroglio Group, one of the best structured and cutting edge Italian companies in the international field of textile manufacturing.
