Jaime Hayon

Spain

Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayon is known for creat­ing intri­cate, finely crafted objects imbued with fantas­ti­cal forms and ener­getic details. Extremely versa­tile, he is known for creat­ing refined furni­ture for the resi­den­tial and commer­cial markets, such as the Catch lounge for &Tradition and the Ro chair for Fritz Hansen. His whim­si­cal­ity emerges fully in playful designs that often take on an anthro­po­mor­phic quality. Hayon crafts a range of unique crea­tures that grace vases, carpets, dishes, figurines, and more.

Hayon’s artis­tic vision first garnered atten­tion in the Mediter­ranean Digital Baroque” exhi­bi­tion at London’s David Gill Gallery in 2003 and with his Mon Cirque collec­tion of hand-molded circus char­ac­ters. These collec­tions put Hayon at the fore­front of a new wave in the contem­po­rary design scene that blurred the lines between art, deco­ra­tion, and design.

After found­ing Hayon Studio in 2001, his award-winning commis­sions have spanned mediums, includ­ing furni­ture for b.d. barcelona, Cassina, Fritz Hansen, &Tradition, and Magis; light­ing for Parachilna, Meta­larte, and Swarovski; and objects for Bisazza, Lladró, and Baccarat. He has also designed inte­ri­ors for leading hotels, restau­rants, museums, and retail establishments worldwide.
