Claim Text:
1. A method for the production of a furnishing element with a conditioning function comprising a base structure for defining the furnishing element, and one or more heating and/or cooling components configured to carry out a heat exchange with an environment, the method comprising: an operating step of making said base structure, the operating step includes defining a radiant surface of said base structure by using a lost mold casting technique selected from the group consisting of sand mold casting, ceramic mold casting, plaster mold casting, V-process, investment casting, lost pattern casting and lost foam casting; destroying a mold or core used for the lost mold casting technique before or during a removing of the base structure after the operating step; constraining said one or more heating and/or cooling components to said base structure, wherein said one or more heating and/or cooling components are suitably shaped to be disposed at least in proximity to said radiant surface, so that said radiant surface determines a desired radiation; and disposing said one or more heating and/or cooling components inside said mold, in which a material for said base structure is cast, arranging and maintaining said one or more heating and/or cooling components inside said mold with relative support hooks by attaching said relative support hooks to the one or more heating and/or cooling components, arranging a free end of each of said relative support hooks facing towards an inside of said mold to keep the one or more heating and/or cooling components in a correct position inside a casting space of said mold so that the one or more heating and/or cooling components are maintained inside the furnishing element, said casting space having an external geometry of the base structure and defined by the surfaces of said mold.
