Many designers are interested in highlighting designs and styles that may be very old and traditional, and using these as an inspiration for something completely new and contemporary. This is the case with many of the Sami Hayek furniture designs that are uniquely modern but feature different elements and inspirations.
As the younger brother of Salma Hayek, Sami Hayek comes from a family where creativity, artistic expression, and thinking outside of the ordinary is very commonplace. From his training in environmental design as well as experience in architecture, industrial design and landscaping, the Sami Hayek furniture starts with an idea, and then the materials are carefully selected to further refine and build upon this vision.
The Design Elements
The interesting component in Sami Hayek furniture is the mix of old and new. You will find amazingly contemporary designs made of carbon fiber next to Humo side tables made using one of the oldest clay techniques from Oaxaca, Mexico.
This unique combination or use of different materials both defines Sami Hayek furniture and also sets it apart from other modern or contemporary designers. His influences, largely from his multi-cultural family and upbringing, provide the opportunity to combine the old with the new in amazing ways.
Old and New in All Designs
With any of the Sami Hayek furniture, you will see elements of old and new. For example, in the Ceniza sectional sofa you will find actual reclaimed wood from old barns located across the mid-western part of the United States. The trim on the interior surface of the sofa is polished gun metal, and the fabric on the sofa is uniquely selected to add the right match for color, texture, and eco-friendly design.
The Humo offerings through Sami Hayek furniture are truly one of a kind in every sense of the word. This process involves using the traditional clay from Oaxaca, Mexico, which will turn black when cured for long periods of time in ovens under the ground.
As each piece is hand-crafted and then cured in the traditional way, allowing the clay to turn the distinctive rich, deep black color. When used as a side table or coffee table it is a one of a kind item that you will treasure.
This, and other types of Sami Hayek furniture are amazing pieces to add to your collection. They are timeless and classic yet also decidedly different than anything else you will find today.
