Vuelta Stool
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. When a form is so distinctive that its characteristics can even be recognised when broken down into the simple design of a footstool, the designer has clearly done everything right. The Vuelta Footstool (W 65cm, H 40cm) is a perfect companion to the high-backed armchair and is a “must-have” accessory that allows the chair to fully express its relaxing qualities. The Vuelta Benches (W 135/192/249/306cm, H 44cm) bring a little Hayon to anywhere they are placed – where there is not quite enough space for a sofa, or as occasional seating in foyers, bedrooms or walk-in wardrobes. Both the footstool and the benches have essential parts to play when a larger grouping of the Vuelta family makes a combined appearance – especially where a number of people should be treated to first-class relaxation. And why not in a composition of contrasting colours?
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.
