Inside or outside at Milan2011

Posted on April 28th 2011

Jaime Hayón’s Piña is a refined wire chair, ideal for use both indoors and outdoors.


Guided by a process of experimentation, Jaime Hayón created the Piña chair for Magis, which was seen at the Milan Furniture Fair recently.

What started as quest to make a wire chair for outdoor use soon took on a more sophisticated shape and look, combining the wood and metal materials.

 

The pattern created by the wire weaving on the Piña “results in a magical optical effect where the chair seems to be inflated”. Hayón turned an elaborate industrial project into a refined wire chair ideal for interior and exterior use, “with a twist of magic”.

Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayón was born in Madrid in 1974. As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, which has formed the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today.
