Jaime Hayon: Frames

Jaime Hayon designed for Expormim the Frames collection: an armchair, a room divider and a side table that will be unveiled during Milan Design Week.

The main set of the Frames collection, designed by Jaime Hayon for Expormim, includes an armchair, a room divider and a side table.

In order to manufacture them, skilled craftsmen curve the rattan with heat and manually introduce it into the moulds. But while the classic use of rattan includes multiple diameters and abundant links, Hayon creates a formula to compose the pieces of Frames that simplifies and organizes the structures.

Each screen of wicker frames a classic braiding that evokes the past, but the whole takes the sinuous forms characteristic of the designer and his illustrations. Jaime Hayon takes advantage of the continuity that these fibres are able to provide to follow the line of his drawings, while other materials would have required assembly.
