  • Contemporary Red Fabric Armchair / Office Chair model "Dino" by Jamie Hayon
    By Jaime Hayon
    Located in Barcelona, ES
    A new armchair by Jaime Hayon will convert into a classic. As comfortable as possible within certain dimensions that adapt well to the body and space it’s in, for both home and contract. It has sculptural forms and a lovely profile, similar to that of a dinosaur, from which the name comes. Finishes: Dark red in a combination of Steelcut 2 and Vidar 3 fabric by Kvadrat and Florida leather with armrests in the same color. Cast aluminum legs painted in a powder coating in the same color. “During the last few years, I’ve worked with BD on different seatings developed with plywood boards. In the collection we now present, I wanted to take advantage of my previous experience with other moulded and upholstered seatings, to develop a new armchair." Born in Madrid in 1974, Jaime Hayon can boast one of the most glittering careers to be seen in the recent history of contemporary design. Hayon forged his identity as a designer at Benetton’s Fabrica communications research centre, near Treviso, where he worked under Oliviero Toscani...
