La chaise Aleta, conçue par Jaime Hayon pour Viccarbe, se distingue par une silhouette fluide et maîtrisée, où chaque ligne semble dessinée pour accompagner le corps avec naturel. Inspirée par le mouvement discret et précis d’une nageoire – d’où son nom –, elle combine souplesse visuelle et stabilité. Son dossier légèrement incurvé et son assise rembourrée créent une impression d’accueil immédiat, renforcée par la délicatesse des proportions. La structure, fine mais affirmée, soutient l’ensemble sans jamais alourdir le dessin, offrant à la chaise une allure élégante et équilibrée. La Aleta s’adapte avec aisance aux environnements variés : autour d’une table de repas, dans un bureau ou un espace d’accueil, elle instaure une atmosphère raffinée et conviviale. En solo ou en série, elle apporte une note de confort maîtrisé et de sophistication discrète, fidèle à l’esprit de Viccarbe.
Born in 1974, Jaime Hayon studied design in Madrid and then Paris, and now divides his time between London, where he lives, Barcelona, where his team is based, and Treviso, home to his production workshop. Heir to Dalí and Almodóvar, his baroque universe is a hybrid blend of art, decoration, crafts and industrial design. He has designed washrooms that look like dressing tables for ArQuitects, moccasins for Camper and candleholders for Baccarat. He works with some of the biggest brands: Bosa (the Bubbles lamp), Lladro (The Masquerade collection of candlesticks), Magis (the Pina armchair)... The Showtime collection for BD Barcelona is surely one of his best-known, with its intriguing, eye-catching leather upholstered armchair. Jaime Hayon claims a return to style as a unique and singular signature. The "Almodóvar of Design", as some people call him, has already, in just 5 years, had a retrospective exhibition at the Kortrijk Design Biennial in Belgium, and a monograph published by the German publisher Gestalten. He is considered by The Times Magazine and Wallpaper Magazine to be one of the most influential designers of the last decade. His creations retain the know-how of traditional craftsmanship while adding his own unique, whimsical style.
