Starting life as a simple sketch, the Catch Lounge Chair refers to Jaime Hayon's initial drawing of a person with outstretched arms. The chair echoes this beautifully by presenting an ergonomically sloped back and curved armrests that appear to 'catch' the user in a warm embrace. Part of Hayon's first collection for &Tradition, the Catch series continues to expand, including a variety of lounge, office and dining chairs.
Spanish artist and industrial designer Jaime Hayon was born in Madrid in 1974.
In 1997, he began working as a researcher at Fabrica, Benetton Group’s communication and research centre in Treviso, Italy. 2004 saw the start of Hayon’s individual career and he has kept himself busy with a spectrum of eclectic projects. From toys, to modern furniture and interior design as well as artistic installations, his boldness has been to transcend the borders of the often separated worlds of art and design, comfortably bridging the two whilst embedding them with his own unique style.
