Fabio Lenci armchair Hyaline 1970s

The Hayine armchair is more than just a piece of furniture; it is a true technological statement. Fabio Lenci, a master in the use of what were then cutting-edge materials, conceived this seat by playing with the contrast between the ethereal and the material.

Designed by Fabio Lenci for Bernini in the early 1970s, the Hayine armchair represents a pinnacle of Italian organic design, renowned for its ability to combine structural audacity with absolute comfort. The project’s hallmark lies in its majestic sides made of shaped tempered glass which, in addition to supporting the structure, lend the object an ethereal transparency, allowing it to inhabit a space without visually cluttering it. The suspended shell, joined by chrome-plated steel spacers, features ergonomic horizontal-segmented padding upholstered in premium leather, designed to cradle the body by following its natural contours. A perfect synthesis of Space Age futuristic aesthetics and the elegance of noble materials, the Hayine is not merely a seat, but a piece of domestic architecture that celebrates the balance between the solidity of matter and the lightness of glass..
