Fritz Hansen Fri™ Lounge chair
FRI™ LOUNGE CHAIR
FRI™ LOUNGE CHAIR
Designed By Jaime Hayon
The Fri™ easy chair adds a striking, sophisticated expression to any interior.
Designed by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, the chair has a soft, sculptured form that is as pleasing to the body as it is to the eye.
Aluminium legs add contemporary appeal to the Fri chair’s modern design.
DESIGNER
JAIME HAYON
Hayon’s Spanish heritage and sense of humour are inherent in everything he creates, from lounge to dining chairs.
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.
HOME ACCORDING TO JAIME HAYON
Jaime Hayon is a busy man, and these first months of the year are often his most hectic. He is currently in Vienna, on his way to Zurich, to prepare for the Milan Furniture Fair.
Here he will present his new products, including the easy chair Fri™ and dining chair Sammen™ designed in collaboration with Fritz Hansen. We caught a few moments to get his views on good design and home.

REPAIR, DISPOSAL AND REUSE
In the case of disposal, the lounge chair can be disassembled into different parts (shell, loose cushions and legs) for recycling, special handling and repair. The shell requires special handling because of the embedded veneer and steel frame. The foam in the loose cushions can be granulated and re-used. The legs and all other metal parts can be recycled. Check local regulations for recycling options and whether there is potential for reuse.
