Aesthetic Gumbo: the New FAVN Couch by Fritz Hansen
26 May, 2011
FAVN is an evolution of Fritz Hansen's design language that brings together the qualities of Spanish and Danish design.
FAVN picks up from the long tradition of Arne Jacobsen in the sense that Jaime wanted to create a form that was based on a shell, like the Egg and the Swan, which looks equally beautiful from all angles. His goal was to create a form that embraces you, something really organic - that's why it is named FAVN (the Danish word for embrace).
FAVN is the result of an experimental dialogue and presents an honest interpretation of Fritz Hansen's design values. It represents a reflection of Fritz Hansen's ambition to achieve sustainable quality in crafting timeless design.
The new sofa is presented in ten unique Designer Selections; light grey, sage green, beige, taupe, chocolate, mustard, red, violet, dark blue and black.
It includes a mix of three fabrics to express the form of its three main components; the shell, seat and back and decorative cushions. The combination of texture and tone is appealing to the visual and emotional senses.
