WoodCruise Rotating Sunbed: “the making off”
In search of innovative design products for the yacht, pool-, and hospitality industry, WoodCruise is developed by a concept not seen before. My goal was to increase the sense of luxury and well-being combined with outdoor living in a very unique way.
I prefer handmade furniture production in order to show my pride for the metier. It also must be distinctive and unlike mass-production the product has to have character.
HOW TO DEAL WITH COMFORT AND SUNLIGHT?
WHAT ABOUT COMBINATION MOVEMENT/RELAXATION?
WHY IS SLOW-MO ROTATION BETTER FOR SOUL AND SKIN?
Questions had to be answered and mature reflection resulted in drawings of a reliable turning mechanism for 4 seasons outdoor use. An ultra inaudible engine is responsible for the completely regulated rotating movement, a revolving motion at exceptional slow pace. This seems essential for relaxation and tanning the body beautiful. It forms the very heart of WoodCruise. If desired, the controllable movement enables us also to follow the track of the sun.
The furniture itself needed a perfect round shape, with convex sides and ditto edge, all to express the circular movement of this model. A deck-like lying area, with raised edges, ensures shelter from the wind and provides more privacy, away from sand and dust.
“MY NAME IS LINKED WITH WOODCRUISE”
Hard work, skills and craftsmanship were put into it. It meant steaming and bending of the wood, planing, milling and grinding by hand for a optimum result. Important for me, my name as cabinetmaker is linked with WoodCruise. As final protection 10 layers of lacquer were put on manually, which guarantees a maintenance-free period of multiple years. Using the most exclusive and luxury materials was clearly the right choice. This applies to all what is used: the wood, as well as the lacquer and the furnishing.
CLEARLY MADE FOR LONG LASTING PLEASURE.
Now modern design is combined with classic elegance. WoodCruise has a soul, an emotional appeal. And most important: visitors, sunbathers, tourists, young and old have embraced the concept last summer.
Moreover, it can also withstand all weather conditions and the harsh marine environment.
