컬렉션: Jaime Hayon

Jaime Hayon was born in 1974 in Madrid, where he studied industrial design at IED (Istituto Europeo di Design - European Institute of Design), where he later directed the Master of European Design Labs in 2010. He continued his training in Paris and then in Italy when, in 1997, he joined Fabrica, the design and communications centre founded by Luciano Benetton and Oliviero Toscani. Again, he moved from pupil to teacher, becoming head of the design department until 2003. The "Mediterranean Digital Baroque" exhibition held at the David Gill Gallery in London in 2003 was decisive for his career. On that occasion, Hayon had the opportunity to show his work for the first time, establishing himself on the international scene as a visionary artist and designer. This show was followed by numerous other exhibitions - between art, design and crafts - in museums and galleries throughout the world: the Design Museum in London; the Gallery Thomas in Munich; the MAK in Vienna; the Groninger Museum; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; the Centre Pompidou in Paris. His work is now part of the permanent collections of some of these museums.

In 2000, he founded Hayon Studio in Valencia and later opened branches in Barcelona and Treviso. This marked the start of his intense design activity on different scales, collaborating with some of the most notable furniture brands. He designed a wide range of products for Bisazza including a line of ceramic tiles; the Amaryllis, Anemone and Bergamot washbasins; a series of furniture items including Heliotrope and Buttercup; and such consoles as Cyclamen in resin and Lavender in aluminium and marble. With Cassina, he created the Réaction Poétique collection including the solid wood coffee table, tray and centrepiece. For Fritz Hansen, he designed the Sammen chair, the JH97 lounge chair, the Ro chair and sofa and objects like candleholders and magazine racks. His longstanding collaboration with Magis began in 2014 with the Piña chair family; the relationship was renewed in 2018 with the Milà chairs and tables. His prestigious partnerships with Camper (for which he designed a line of shoes and a flagship store in Tokyo), Swarovski, Lladrò, Wittmann, BD Barcelona and Baccarat are also noteworthy.

In 2008, he published "Jaime Hayon Works" with the German editor, Gestalten. The book presents the duality of his work on the frontier between art and architecture, industrial design and crafts, graphics and sculpture. His cross-sectional and original style have earned him numerous awards and recognitions, including the 2006 Elle Decoration International Design Awards, the Guest of Honour at the 2008 Belgian Biennial, Designer of the Year at Ad Russia in 2009 and Designer of the Year at Maison Objet in 2010. Time Magazine and Wallpaper Magazine have recognised him as one of the most influential and visionary designers of recent times.
