Born from a quartic mathematical function and shaped by an electronic calculator, DETECMA is not just a piece of furniture but a symbol of Italian radical design. DETECMA represents a timeless fusion of past, present, and future, seamlessly blending into any contemporary living space as a recliner, a pouf, or a chaise longue.
In the realm of design, where artistry meets functionality, DETECMA makes a unique statement. Born from the marriage of design, technique, and mathematics in 1967, this ground-breaking seat is as much a scientific achievement as it is a revolutionary part of Italian radical design. Its name, an acronym, reveals its unique genesis, and its shape, an organic form defying formal definitions, epitomizes its innovative spirit. DETECMA is the brainchild of Tullio Regge, a renowned physicist and influential thinker of the 20th century. Under his guidance, a quartic mathematical function was transformed into DETECMA, an ergonomic shape, marking a monumental event in the history of design. This was the first piece of decor designed using an electronic calculator, its shape derived from an open-source parametric equation.
Constructed from soft polyurethane and cloth, DETECMA transcends classifications. It’s a recliner that rebels against the conventional norms, equally a pouf and a chaise longue. Its silhouette embodies a fresh perspective on living and interior design that predated trends that marked the following decades.
