Vuelta Lounge Island Sofa
Eclectic, exciting, Mediterranean Baroque – and yet wonderfully timeless.
These are the characteristics that define the eye-catching style brought into being by the playful collaboration between Spanish artist and designer Jaime Hayon and Austrian furniture maker Wittmann. If the brief was to create furniture to counteract boredom, then it’s safe to say mission accomplished. Jaime Hayon’s collection for Wittmann truly brings colour into the picture, in every respect. “No man is an island,” as John Donne wrote in the 17th century. These days, it is often all but impossible to find a few minutes to escape for some time out.
So we have become masters of creating islands for ourselves. Our homes are our main places of refuge and should offer us at least one such island. This is where Vuelta Lounge Island comes in: perfectly proportioned, it stands as solid as rock in our favourite place and is a sofa and double chaise longue in one. It creates space for time out alone, for two, or as a family. Symmetry is often a must for aesthetes. In this case, it is served as a comfy, upholstered embrace. So when the next wave comes that needs to be escaped, take up a position on Vuelta Lounge Island and relax until the seas are calm again.
Wittmann
Wittmann creates treasured pieces: They are the product of an uncompromising approach to craft and design – two elements that have been uniquely cultivated by Wittmann right from the very start. Wittmann is adept at setting trends, creating milestones in the history of furniture.
Unmatched craftsmanship, as well as meticulous selection and working of fine materials, provide the basis for executing new ideas and forms. To bring them to life, Wittmann regularly partners with the greatest names of their time. And it is not uncommon for long-term cooperations to be the outcome: collaborators including Johannes Spalt, Jean Nouvel, Matteo Thun and Paolo Piva set the direction that Jaime Hayon, Sebastian Herkner and Luca Nichetto have now seamlessly picked up on, taking it into a new era.
