DESIGN BOX – “The Hayama furniture collection is an invitation to travel in the form of furniture.” Said Patricia Urquiola to Archipanic. The designer has created a lacquered furniture collection for Cassina. The series comprises a cabinet, a bar, a hutch, and a console with a strong Japanese feel.

The cabinet, in particular, stands on oblique legs in elegant contrast to the horizontal lines of the upper part, becoming the distinctive trait of a minimalist shape. The bar elicits a striking visual effect that lends depth to any space through a mirror that, on three sides, frames a shelf in an extra-clear glass. The lower part features two centre drawers and two side compartments illuminated by LED lights.
The collection is available in a version with canneté doors or a smooth finish to highlight the geometric contrast between the horizontal lines and the verticality of the front.
