EXTreMe Furniture Decoration Sofa to Your Interior by Mauro Lipparini for Saporiti Italia - Italian Designer

Modern and Full color EXTreMe Furniture Decoration Sofa by Mauro Lipparini for Saporiti Italia - Italian Designer

An elaborate collection of sofas, armchairs and tables, whose basic frames and main characteristics are defined but, at the same time, whose geometries and finishes are completely free and totally customizable by the end-user. The large platforms that support sofas and armchairs, are freely configurable, as well as seats and cushions, extremely flexible in their shapes and structural components to allow different degrees of comfort and various uses. The materials used for these sofas are refined and sophisticated: they vary from the woven, decorated or laser-cut leathers by Foglizzo, to the exclusive fabrics of the Saporiti Italia collection, to the mat or high gloss lacquers of the platforms. In the tables too, shapes, finishing and surfaces can be totally customized. Their surfaces can be made in wood or lacquer and they can be decorated and inlayed with refined designs and patterns, made with traditional techniques and materials, such as wood or precious metals, but also with innovative metals, such as steel, aluminium, titanium.

FAVN Sofa Design by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen

Jaime Hayon has designed the FAVN sofa for the Danish furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen.

Black FAVN Sofa Design by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen

FAVN; the Danish name for embrace, is a new sofa designed by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen. The new sofa is the result of a creative dialogue and will be launched during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2011 at Republic of Fritz Hansen’s showroom in Milan.

Violet FAVN Sofa Design by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen

“I wanted the sofa to be based on a shell. A shell being hard on the outside, soft and welcoming on the inside.” Says Jaime Hayón. “I wanted to create a form that embraces you, something really organic – that’s why we named it FAVN.” Hayón continues.

Red FAVN Sofa Design by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen

Recognized by his fresh, colourful and extrovert design style, the award winning artist-designer is the most recent addition to Fritz Hansen’s family tree of designers. Hayón carries forward Fritz Hansen’s long tradition of working with some of the world’s most talented architect and designers.

Orange FAVN Sofa Design by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen

“FAVN is an evolution of Fritz Hansen’s design language that brings together the qualities of Spanish and Danish design”. Says Jaime Hayón. “FAVN is picking up from the long tradition of Arne Jacobsen in the sense that I wanted to create a form that was based on a shell, like the Egg™ and the Swan™ which looks equally beautiful from all angles.” Hayón continues.

Brown FAVN Sofa Design by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen

FAVN is the result of an experimental dialogue and presents an honest interpretation of Fritz Hansen’s design values. It represents a true reflection of Fritz Hansen’s ambition to achieve sustainable quality in crafting timeless design.

The new sofa is presented in ten unique Designer Selections; light grey, sage green, clear beige, taupe, chocolate, moutarde, red, violet, dark blue and black. It includes a mix of three fabrics to express the form of its three main components; the shell, seat and back and decorative cushions. The combination of texture and tone is appealing to the visual and emotional senses.

FAVN will be launched at Republic of Fritz Hansen’s showroom in Milan on Corso Garibaldi, 77 during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2011. The new sofa will be available to purchase from Republic of Fritz Hansen stores and selected authorized Republic of Fritz Hansen dealers from around the world as of September 2011.

Fossa Furniture Sofas Design by Aurélien Barbry for COR

French designer Aurélien Barbry has created the Fossa sofa for the German manufacturer COR.

Lounger, sofa, corner combination? FOSSA functions according to the principle of change: Cushion elements find a place in recesses – they are inserted, moved or removed. In doing so, another new piece of furniture is created – for relaxing, reading, listening to music, alone, in a twosome, in a threesome. It’s a good thing if everything is within easy reach and small things can be hidden away quickly. FOSSA is for people who value flexibility and to whom good seating is paramount.
