Derived from the Danish term for 'embrace', the Favn™ Sofa is a design collaboration between designer Jaime Hayon and Fritz Hansen. Its open and rounded curves are intended to appeal and invite—the perfect setting for relaxation, work and everything in-between.
Combining a mixture of three textiles with playful detailing including round buttons and delicate legs, the Favn™ Sofa embodies Jaime Hayon's imaginative aesthetic with thoughtful detail.
As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today. After studying industrial design in Madrid and Paris he joined Fabrica in 1997, the Benetton-funded design and communication academy, working closely with the legendary image-maker and agitator Oliviero Toscani. In a short time he was promoted from student to head of their Design Department. Eight years later, Jaime broke out on his own, first with his collections of designer toys, ceramics and furniture, later followed by interior design and installations.
Founded in Denmark in 1872, Fritz Hansen is a global leader in indoor and outdoor timeless collections which unite world-famous classics and contemporary furniture, lighting and accessory design and production. Driven by a passion for beauty, quality, craftsmanship, and responsible manufacturing, the company embodies a modern Nordic lifestyle and collaborates with visionary artists, designers, and architects from around the world.
The brand has collaborated with Arne Jacobsen, Cecilie Manz, Hans J. Wegner, Piero Lissoni, Jaime Hayon and Poul Kjærholm, among others.
