Jaime Hayon Expands His Rattan Frames Collection for Expormim

In 2014, Jaime Hayon launched the Frames collection for Expormim and four years later, he’s expanding it to include new armchairs and dining chairs. Made entirely of rattan, a material that’s been used in handcrafted furniture for centuries, the chairs display a modern approach of the traditional material, helping to reframe the perception of how it can be used.

To round out the collection, they’ve added a dining chair, a dining armchair, and a low backrest armchair, each with structures and legs made from natural rattan. The seats and backrests feature an “octagonal wicker” pattern that’s finished in rattan. The chairs come in a variety of solid colors and have an optional cushion available for purchase.
