Wittmann Hayon Workshop new pieces

VUELTA CHAISELOUNGE

My private island: a classic free-standing chaise longue is always something of a private retreat, even when it is part of a larger ensemble. Vuelta’s sensual lines have found a logical progression in this chaise longue (W 190cm). The distinctive upholstery of the backrest, that gives Vuelta its unmistakable character, sweeps protectively around the headrest of this day bed, creating an island that can be shared – but need not be.

MD Shelf

An extrovert performer that doesn’t steal the show. With the MD Shelf, you can set beautiful and treasured objects on silky smooth leather shelves – seemingly floating on air thanks to delicate-looking, asymmetrically positioned brackets made from textured powder-coated metal. The tactile experience – leather, cool metal with a textured coating – and the attraction of a broad spectrum of colours stems from the colourful world of the designer. Wittmann has executed the precision handcraftsmanship behind the idea with incomparable finesse.

Wings Bed

Sweet dreams come easily on wings… The side wings of the Wings Bed, which can be tilted, are at the heart of an interplay between intimacy and openness. They cradle the person sleeping like a cocoon, or open up to transform the bedroom into a place where people wish to spend time – and not just at night. Leather covered nightstands and adjustable LED reading spotlights are carried by a slender, textured powder coated frame finished in black.

FRAMES chair and armchair for Expormim

Serendipity was the hand behind the quill. It gathered designer and brand and enlisted both in this venture project involving just one component. Skin and bones, all made of rattan, a radically modern material yet handcrafted according to a long standing tradition.

FRAMES collection was introduced to society on the occasion of the International Furniture Fair of Milan in 2014 and captured from the very beginning the attention of both media and general public. After four years of development work, Expormim increases the collection with a new chair and a new dining armchair, conceptualized for small and coquettish spaces, along with a low armchair. These new pieces will be presented in the next International Furniture Fair of Milan in April 2018. Thanks to its charm – a mélange of rusticity and temperate elegance – and to its plain but sophisticated aesthetics the collection is poised to become a contemporary classic.

Tradition and innovation melt into a new approach making outdoor furniture become a hybrid which penetrates and blends perfectly into indoor spaces. FRAMES writes a new chapter of an old story: that ancient tale of craftsmanship and tradition, but within a new framework which deals with the material from the cheerful and insouciant perspective Hayon embodies so convincingly.

FRAMES Armchair by Jaime Hayon was the winner for Excellent Product Design in the 2016 edition of the prestigious German Design Awards.

Mezcla table for &Tradition

A table is where different people come together for different reasons. To meet and discuss a topic. To agree, disagree or just laugh and enjoy each other’s company. It’s this idea of mixing people, ideas and elements that lies at the core of Mezcla, a table concept by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, characterised by a mix of exclusive materials.

The Spanish word for “mixture” is Mezcla,” explains Hayon. “For me it captures the essence of different people coming together and diverse design elements together – in a series of tables where the materials, shapes and colours could meet and greet, so to speak.”

Passepartout lamps for &Tradition

Just like the name implies, the Passepartout Lamps by Spanish artist – designer, Jaime Hayon, act almost like a frame that enhances the visual appeal of whatever they are illuminating. For every type of architectural setting, these lamps are sensational ambient devices which can be used to enhance unique form.

How do you add a lamp to illuminate a space – without the lamp being too anonymous or too imposing? It is a question Hayon has often asked himself. “The answer came from the picture frame. The picture is the focus and the frame is there to guide your eyes to it. Of course, with a lamp you have light, without it you have darkness. So the lamp is actually the unsung hero that brings any setting to life.”

Place the Passepartout Lamps on the wall or ceiling, in the living room or corridor and they will never look out of place. Choose from three differ-white. With the Passepartout lamps, you can even cluster the various colours and shapes together to create a unique aesthetic effect.

As for the illumination factor, it is nothing less than fantastic. The Passepartout Lamps use built-in LED technology that ensures an energy-designed to provide illumination that is soft and soothing, emitting a light that’s dispersed uniformly throughout the space. According to &tradition’s Brand Director Martin Kornbek Hansen, “With the Passepartout Lamps, we have combined decorative and technical lighting private and architectural buildings. Available in a variety of shapes and colours that add a decorative accent – with a touch of personality.”
