Sammen for Fritz Hansen

Posted on May 5, 2015January 19, 2021 by claudia

Sammen is the new soft and comfortable dining chair, which is designed by Jaime Hayon. The design is straightforward, open and friendly and has therefore been named Sammen, which is Danish for being together. That is exactly what this design does, as Sammen is designed for a pleasant evening in the company of good friends and family. An evening at the dinner table with good food, good conversations and many treasured moments.

Sammen is instantly likable because it is an honest, modern and simple chair – a comfortable seat that makes you feel relaxed and free to share your thoughts with everyone around the dinner table. This is where we eat, meet, work and discuss life’s events, big and small, spending hours of quality time. Sammen puts you in the right frame of mind – relaxed, at ease and ready to take part in these shared moments. The warm look of the wooden legs and the soft, padded shell that embraces you makes Sammen™ a perfect choice for making your dining room feel like your living room.

Réaction Poétique for Cassina

Posted on May 5, 2015January 26, 2021 by claudia

Jaime Hayon presents a new collection of objects for Cassina inspired by the organic shapes of Le Corbusier’s architectures and esprit nouveau artwork: four table centrepieces, a tray made up of two coffee bean shapes and two small side tables, all rigorously produced in solid ash-wood stained black with a low-gloss finish. The Réaction Poétique Collection remains true to Cassina’s well-established heritage in working with wood, where skilled handcraftsmanship is combined with industrial innovation. These items are branded with the Cassina logo and accompanied by their own identity card to guarantee the authenticity of each single piece. They are also presented in a special packaging to highlight the inimitable quality of the project. As well as the commemoration of the 50 years since Le Corbusier passed away, this year Cassina celebrates the 50th anniversary of the LC Collection (Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand) with a series of cultural events and product innovation. “I wanted to create useful objects for the modern home such as trays and side tables, but with sculptural elements interplaying forms, light and shadow. It was a very strict, almost religious challenge to use only one material and one finish, exercising my design philosophy. I feel this restriction actually became an opportunity to showcase the beauty of the wood, along with the expert mastery of Cassina’s carpentry workshop.” Jaime Hayon.

Fri for Fritz Hansen

Posted on May 5, 2015January 19, 2021 by claudia

Fri™ is the new armchair by Jaime Hayon. It is a natural extension of Ro™. While Ro™ offers a calm and sheltered space for relaxation and reflection, however, Fri™ encourages you to be part of the environment and join in. Fri™ is all about the life that is going on around you.

Fri™ is designed to create a cosy feel in any setting. Of course, it takes more than a chair to create that ambience, but Fri™ is a first step towards bringing this exceptional atmosphere into your life, as Fri™ is designed to put you in the mood for connecting with others and to contribute a pleasant and open atmosphere. Fri™ creates a space where you can feel relaxed and comfortable without feeling withdrawn or unapproachable. Where you can spend quality time and take part in the meaningful moments of everyday life at home, at the office or in a restaurant.

Milà Chair for Magis

Posted on May 5, 2015January 19, 2021 by claudia

Imagine you’re able to do in plastic what is impossible to do in wood. With the expertise of Magis as pioneers in gas injection-moulding, we were able to make an expressive chair very rich in movement, based on the forms of Catalan modernism: elastic and dynamic. We created a truly elegant plastic chair, something to stand out on a saturated market. It’s a challenge for me, as someone who normally uses materials with thousands of years of heritage such as wood, metal, and ceramic, to create my first product in plastic. And I am happy with it. Jaime Hayon.
