DESIGNER-PEARSON LLOYD
PearsonLloyd is one of the leading names in contemporary British design, and this multidisciplinary studio works in a wide range of sectors: from furnishing to public spaces to brand development. Established by Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd in 1997, the studio has received numerous acknowledgements and accolades in both Europe and the United States. The British design duo write regularly for major design magazines, as well as acting as “visiting lecturers” at the École Cantonale d’Art in Lausanne.
MATERIAL AND FINISH
METAL
The need to combine complex yet lightweight shapes with resistant materials necessarily involves the use of metals ouch as steel and aluminium. Products in polyurethane foam are made with an inner steel frame for adding strength to the structure. The bases are in tubular metal which can be chromed with a gloss or satin finish or painted with epoxy powders.
WOOD
Wood is a renewable raw material. All products derived from wood, such as for example plywood, have the advantage of being able to be machined more easily than wood and do not deform. The timber we use – solid or plywood – comes mainly from European and Russian forests and is seasoned to specific values of humidity with tests. Moot of the structures of the products in the collection have a frame in solid pine or ash, or in beech or poplar plywood.
RECYCLABILITY
All Fixie elements are 100% recyclable when fully separated. Tacchini undertakes on-going research and development, with efforts made to introduce products which are a perfect combination of function and safety without jeopardizing the final design of the same articles. During production attempts are made to minimize noise and emission levels and to reduce rejects as far as possible. All the single materials which make up the production process, once disassembled, can be reused several times, maintaining a high quality standard.
POLYURETHANE
Flexible expanded polyurethane is a solid elastic polymeric material with open cell structure. It is a non-toxic material and above all free from ozone-damaging components. Production and processing of the polyurethane we use meet the objectives of the new policy of ensuring the protection of human health and of the environment. We focus in particular on the choice and use of the types of density of polyurethane suitable for preserving over the years the features of load capacity, elasticity and resilience. For products used in public spaces flame-retardant expanded polyurethane is chosen, tested and certified according to international regulations.
