With Plenum, designer Jaime Hayon and the Fritz Hansen brand pay tribute to modern workspaces. This collection of high-backed seating is designed to fit any type of space, whether for solitary or group seating. As functional as they are aesthetic, Plenum armchairs and sofas have elegant lines, comfortable seating and a wrap-around backrest, promoting collaboration, concentration and relaxation. Fritz Hansen's expertise has made it possible to produce durable parts using complex techniques, such as creating curved lines without creasing the fabric or using glue. The result is a seating collection with a strong and versatile design. All versions of Plenum can be completed with a power supply unit including an electrical socket and two USB ports. In addition, three types of tables can be added to the seats: a swivel table that attaches to the seat structure, a coffee table or a higher work table. These accessories are not included, contact us for more information. The Plenum collection is available in many fabrics and colours.
Born in 1974, Jaime Hayon studied design in Madrid and then Paris, and now divides his time between London, where he lives, Barcelona, where his team is based, and Treviso, home to his production workshop. Heir to Dalí and Almodóvar, his baroque universe is a hybrid blend of art, decoration, crafts and industrial design. He has designed washrooms that look like dressing tables for ArQuitects, moccasins for Camper and candleholders for Baccarat. He works with some of the biggest brands: Bosa (the Bubbles lamp), Lladro (The Masquerade collection of candlesticks), Magis (the Pina armchair)... The Showtime collection for BD Barcelona is surely one of his best-known, with its intriguing, eye-catching leather upholstered armchair. Jaime Hayon claims a return to style as a unique and singular signature. The "Almodóvar of Design", as some people call him, has already, in just 5 years, had a retrospective exhibition at the Kortrijk Design Biennial in Belgium, and a monograph published by the German publisher Gestalten. He is considered by The Times Magazine and Wallpaper Magazine to be one of the most influential designers of the last decade. His creations retain the know-how of traditional craftsmanship while adding his own unique, whimsical style.
