The name kind of gives it away, but soft curves are the key design feature for Jaime Hayon's newest furniture collection, 'Bardot' which he's designed for Bernhardt.

The absence of distinct angles and lines permit the exterior and interior to gently merge together, creating a continuous form that allows fabric to conform to its shape, similar to the way a dress fits the body.

Clearly inspired by the feminine silhouette, Hayon wanted the sofa to “...feel like a fruit, tender to the touch,” while at the same time be extremely durable “like combining the lightness and strength of a ballerina.” 

“Many sofas are too big to actually use in city apartments" Hayon explains, "...so I wanted to make one that looked big and felt generous, but would actually work in smaller spaces.”

We like this neat and streamlined piece; chic and compact but still retaining plenty of that playful Hayon signature.
