A project built to belong
Some projects are about delivering a product. This one was about creating something that could not exist anywhere else.
We are proud to share our collaboration with Hotel Xcaret Mexico II, located near Cancun, Mexico. For this property, Hayche designed and supplied two bespoke dining chairs for every one of the hotel's rooms. Silla El and Silla Ella. The Male and the Female.
Two chairs with distinct characters. Designed to coexist.
Both chairs were constructed in Tzalam solid wood with polyester cord detailing in pink and blue that “stitch” through the solid wood structure of the backrests. They relate to each other in material, in scale, in spirit, but each holds its own identity. Silla El carries a quiet strength. Silla Ella has a softer presence, with a curved backrest and two laser-engraved flowers on the seat pad taken directly from the hotel's logo.
That detail was not an afterthought. It was part of the essence of the chair.
What made this project different: YOP.
This entire project was delivered through our YOP service — Your Own Product. Working in close collaboration with the Hotel Xcaret Mexico II design team, we developed both chairs entirely from scratch. No existing catalogue piece. No compromise. A product designed under the hotel's brief, built to their specifications, and supplied on an exclusivity basis.
YOP exists for clients who want more than furniture. They want their own story, their own personality reflected in the object, with full ownership, a product that could only ever be theirs.
This is what that looks like in practice.
We are proud of what this project represents, not just as a supply, but as a genuine creative partnership. And we are grateful to the team at Hotel Xcaret Mexico II for the trust they placed in us from the first conversation.
Every detail in Silla El and Silla Ella was decided deliberately. That is the only way we know how to work.
If you are working on a hospitality project and want to explore what a unique, custom-developed product could look like, we would love to hear from you.
