Past and Future
The Cosimo dining chairs and armchairs embody a seamless fusion of tradition and innovation. Their flowing forms, expertly carved from fine Italian marble, unite artisanal craftsmanship with advanced robotic technology. This perfect blend of past and future creates a piece that is not just furniture, but a timeless work of art.
Precision and Craftsmanship
The Cosimo design process is an ongoing refinement, made possible through the innovative use of internal machinery and 7-axis robotic technology. This precision technology has been specifically developed to meet the exclusive needs of Luce di Carrara, ensuring flawless results and meticulous attention to detail. The combination of cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship is what enables the creation of a product truly unique in its kind.
The meticulous process
Each Cosimo chair undergoes a meticulous process that requires over 80 hours of robotic craftsmanship, followed by an additional 10 hours of manual finishing by the skilled artisans at Luce di Carrara. This approach ensures that each piece not only meets the highest quality standards but also possesses a unique character.
The final result is a chair that offers exceptional comfort and optimal support, with a smooth, velvety surface that perfectly embodies the fusion of innovation and timeless craftsmanship.
A collaboration between visionaries.
The development of the Cosimo chair was an intriguing challenge for Sean Dix, an innovative approach to design that allowed him to collaborate with the visionary Paolo Carli and his talented team at Luce di Carrara. “This experience and the unwavering dedication of the artisans provided a unique opportunity to learn from specialists who constantly push the boundaries of materials and challenge themselves to innovate,” says Dix.
The collaboration led to the creation of a chair that not only challenges conventions but also tells a story of dedication and innovation.
A new direction in chair design.
The collaboration between Luce di Carrara and Sean Dix gave birth to the Cosimo chair, a symbol of a new direction in chair design. “The deep tradition of Luce di Carrara and Paolo Carli’s relentless pursuit of innovation have resulted in a creation that marks a significant advancement in chair design,” says Sean Dix. With two variants – dining and lounge, both featuring swivel mechanisms – the Cosimo chair sets a new horizon, where aesthetics and functionality merge with a fresh and bold vision.
The allure of additive design
The allure of additive design is irresistible, especially when it originates from the designer’s mind and evolves through notes, sketches, digital models, and renderings. There is an excitement in exploring new approaches to traditional ideas and seamlessly connecting them.
The process becomes a journey of discovery, where the possibilities for experimentation are endless. If an element doesn’t fit perfectly, it’s never a problem: it can always be discarded and reimagined, embracing the iterative nature of creation.
