Réaction Poétique Collection: wooden objects by Jaime Hayon inspired by the works of Le Corbusier, 50 years after his death
Jaime Hayon
presents a new collection of objects for Cassina inspired by the organic shapes of
Le
Corbusier
’s architectures and
esprit nouveau
artwork: four table centrepieces, a tray made up of two
coffee bean shapes and two small side tables, all rigorously produced in solid ash-wood stained black
with a low-gloss finish.
The
Réaction Poétique
Collection remains true to Cassina’s well-established heritage in working with
wood, where skilled handcraftsmanship is combined with industrial innovation.
These items are branded with the Cassina logo and accompanied by their own identity card to guarantee
the authenticity of each single piece. They are also presented in a special packaging to highlight the
inimitable quality of the project.
As well as the commemoration of the 50 years since Le Corbusier passed away, this year Cassina
celebrates the 50th anniversary of the
LC Collection
(
Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand
)
with a series of cultural events and product innovation.
“I wanted to create useful objects for the modern home such as trays and side tables, but with sculptural elements interplaying forms, light and shadow. It was a very strict, almost religious challenge to use only one material and one finish, exercising my design philosophy. I feel this restriction actually became an opportunity to showcase the beauty of the wood, along with the expert mastery of Cassina’s carpentry workshop.”
Jaime Hayon.
