Design Jaime Hayon, 2017
Upholstery, webbing, metal or wood legs
Made by Fritz Hansen
The sculptural, curvaceous Lune sofa is characteristic of designer Jaime Hayon and sits at the intersection of clean Nordic aesthetics and southern elegance. Lune is a functional, modular sofa that offers a myriad of possibilities: from a straight two-seater to larger L-shapes with chaise longue options. The result: a flexible sofa that is not only cosy and comfortable but also inherently beautiful from every angle. A chaise module on the three-seater sofa extends Lune’s soft, laid-back profile and creates an enhanced lounging experience. The chaise extension in on the right.
As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today. After studying industrial design in Madrid and Paris he joined Fabrica in 1997, the Benetton-funded design and communication academy, working closely with the legendary image-maker and agitator Oliviero Toscani. In a short time he was promoted from student to head of their Design Department. Eight years later, Jaime broke out on his own, first with his collections of designer toys, ceramics and furniture, later followed by interior design and installations.
Jaime Hayon is a busy man, and these first months of the year are often his most hectic. He is currently in Vienna, on his way to Zurich, to prepare for the Milan Furniture Fair. Here he will present his new products, including the easy chair Fri™ and dining chair Sammen™ designed in collaboration with Fritz Hansen. We caught a few moments to get his views on good design and home.
Dimensions: 89.5" W | 61.6" D | 31" H | Seat: 15" H
