Revisiting a Classic – VUELTA Modular by Jaime Hayon for Wittmann
A classic sofa holds the unbounded capability of elevating a space in a subtle and understated way. Known for its soft curves and organic form, the VUELTA is one such exemplar of this principle. Expanding on the born qualities of the lounge, Wittmann and Jaime Hayon have broadened the scope of applications for the series to allow the classic piece to continue to evolve.
The new VUELTA Modular is the latest creation from Jaime and Wittmann, combining workmanship, distinctive design and striking shapes. The latest comes from a place of innovation and growth – adding to the characterful VUELTA solitaires a range of elements that can be arranged according to different needs, introducing exciting new options and endless possibilities.
Defined by a soft, refined aesthetic, the VUELTA combines the Spanish designer’s renowned playfulness with the expert craftsmanship of the Austrian company, devising a layered and multifaceted addition to any space. The modular sofa consists of corner, end, intermediate and chaise longue components, as well as gently curved elements that form an impressive semicircle. With its organic lines and muted colour palette, VUELTA evokes an elegant, opulent feel that suits a variety of spaces and styles.
Its elegant proportions also reveal a deep consideration of function in its design. The form is both highly flexible and light, predicated on meticulous development work and versatile modularity. Similarly, the modular system allows a variety of combinations that can be adapted to spaces with different requirements, while always providing comfort thanks to their pocket spring cores and high-quality polymousse structure.
Discussing the VUELTA Modular, Jaime comments, “Wittmann has a great design tradition and culture is an important part of the company’s DNA. I have always admired this and the passion for excellent craftsmanship, which I share. The current collection is an expression of the potential for innovation unlocked by our collaboration, which is itself hallmarked by mutual appreciation and respect.”
Available from DOMO, the VUELTA is an example of imbuing a classic piece of furniture with subtle innovation while retaining its integrity.
