With Elefy, the Spanish designer Jaime Hayon has designed for And Tradition a collection of seating inspired by an elephant. When you look at the Elefy chair from behind, you can easily see the two large ears of the animal, emerging from the rounded curve of the seat. The base, available in metal or wood, also echoes the animal and its four sturdy legs. Elefy combines a playful silhouette with great comfort, thanks to its enveloping shell and soft edges. Like the gentle nature of an elephant, Elefy was designed to encourage a sense of well-being. Resolutely contemporary, the shell of the small And Tradition armchair is available in a wide range of colours and is also available with fabric or leather upholstery.
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.
