The Ro lounge chair lives up to its name, which means ātranquillityā in Danish. This armchair is the second creation by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen, following on from the Favn sofa.
Its aim is to create a space for relaxation and reflection, encouraging you to immerse yourself in its curves and take a moment to yourself. The base is available in brushed aluminium or clear lacquered solid oak. The trumpet-shaped legs of the Ro armchair are characteristic of Hayon's unique style, echoing its ceramic products which often have a flared conical shape.
This enveloping, highly ergonomic armchair is designed to be as comfortable and relaxing as possible, with its wrap-around shell and comfortable armrests. The Fauteuil Ro is made up of a shell and fabric-covered cushions, which can be mismatched, and can be accompanied by a matching footrest.

Born in Madrid in 1974, Jaime HayĆ³n 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, HayĆ³n worked for Oliviero Toscani, who would soon place him in charge of the design department. It was at Fabrica that HayĆ³n 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 āMediterranean Digital Baroqueā, at Londonās 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, LladrĆ³, Bisazza, Swarovsky, and Moooi.
