Jaime Hayon's says his Plenum furniture collection aims to be a hybrid between design for the home and the office, in this exclusive video interview Dezeen filmed at his studio in Valencia for Republic of Fritz Hansen.

Hayon's Plenum collection for Danish furniture brand Republic of Fritz Hansen is made up of a one, two and a three-seater sofa.

According to the designer, the collection aims to transform the idea of traditional office furniture, with designs that have the same look and feel as those used in the home.

"Offices have changed a lot in the last couple of years," says Hayon in the movie. "It's an open space, like a home. People want to feel at home when they're working."

hen we thought about the chair, the first thought I had was that we had to make something that would be as comfortable as a sofa that we would put at home," he adds.
Hayon says that because the nature of work is changing, furniture design for the office is in a "hybrid moment", where designers need to create furniture that can adapt to both home and work environment.

"We need chairs that are in-between. Pieces that are a little bit more light, more human and more colourful," Hayon explains.
