RO™ LOUNGE CHAIR
RO™ LOUNGE CHAIR
Designed by Jaime Hayon,
The Ro™ lounge chair is aptly named after the Danish word for ‘tranquillity’. Designed by Jaime Hayon, the easy chair creates space for relaxation and reflection, enticing you to immerse in its curves and take a moment for yourself. The base is made of brushed aluminium or solid oak with a clear lacquer finish.
The trumpet-shaped aluminium legs of the JH1 are a hallmark of Hayon’s unique style, recalling his eccentric ceramic models which often feature flared, conical elements.
By continuing the free-flowing profile of the shell, they extend its form downwards, culminating in delicately rounded points, like perfectly poised ballet shoes balanced on the floor.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today. After studying industrial design in Madrid and Paris he joined Fabrica in 1997, the Benetton-funded design and communication academy, working closely with the legendary image-maker and agitator Oliviero Toscani.
In a short time he was promoted from student to head of their Design Department. Eight years later, Jaime broke out on his own, first with his collections of designer toys, ceramics and furniture, later followed by interior design and installations.
