Réaction Poétique

#6 Among Cassina’s novelties for Salone del Mobile 2015 the wooden objects of Réaction Poétique, designed by Jaime Hayon and inspired by the works of Le Corbusier. #salone2015

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.

“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 mastery of Cassina’s carpentry workshop.” Jaime Hayon explains.
