Fritz Hansen 🇩🇰 Fri Lounge Chair

Fri lounge chair Fritz Hansen – Jaime Hayón

The Fri armchair was designed for Fritz Hansen by the Spanish designer Jaime Hayón, who also created the Ro lounge chair, the Ro sofa and the Favn sofa. Like the Ro armchair, it is exceptionally comfortable, firm, ergonomic and soft. The shell of the Fri armchair is made of hard polyurethane foam reinforced at the corners with fibreglass, like the classic Egg and Swan armchairs.

The seat cushion is made from moulded polyurethane foam for optimum support and comfort. The back cushion is made up of two layers of foam and a lumbar support for excellent back support. The whole unit is fully upholstered and available in a wide range of colours. The four legs can be chosen in oak or brushed aluminium. Nylon glides make them suitable for most floors.
The chair can be upholstered in a single fabric or two different ones, one for the shell and one for the cushions, at no extra cost.

Jaime Hayón

Born in Madrid in 1974, Jaime Hayón has one of the most glittering careers in recent contemporary design. Although trained in Madrid, he forged his reputation at Fabrica, the creative breeding ground run by Benetton near the Italian city of Treviso. Arriving in 1997, at the young age of 24, Hayón worked for Oliviero Toscani, who would soon place him in charge of the design department. It was at Fabrica that Hayón first worked with BD on the Mail Me project.

In 2004, he decided to branch out on his own, settling in Barcelona and working on a number of projects while also exhibiting his more personal work in art galleries. The exhibition “Mediterranean Digital Baroque”, at London’s David Gill Gallery, and the bathroom collection he designed for ArtQuitect marked the start of his meteoric international rise, which was established with the Showtime collection for BD and his subsequent work with companies such as Metalarte, Camper, Lladró, Bisazza, Swarovsky, and Moooi.
