CRYSTAL CANDY SET FOR BACCARAT

The opportunity to research and exercise creative possibilities along with Baccarat led to the creation of the Crystal Candy Set. The approach was guided by the search for exquisite color and material combinations. With these pieces, I wanted to replicate the richness of fresh tropical fruit using crystal and other materials, such as ceramics. Using a variety of textures and thicknesses, a new game of reflection has been accomplished with each of the 9 characters that make up the collection. Diverse crystal cutting techniques can be appreciated throughout the collection. They result in a series of soft, feminine shapes with touch of humor. Fruity inspirations are mixed with gem like features: pineapples, pomegranates, golf balls and water drops are some of the ideas explored. The pieces are a limited edition of 25.

GRID VASES FOR GAIA & GINO

The Grid vase, was inspired by a combination of city influences. Since moving to London I have been fascinated by British history and the strong medieval atmosphere when I walk through the streets. I became fascinated by tales of the knights templar, Henry VIII and the Tudors and the endlessly rich history surrounding me. I came up with vases, inspired by suits of armor, helmets and fencing masks.My trip to Turkey was also relevant. I had visited the city and the beauty I had seen in Islamic arts and crafts was very inspirational. Beautiful armor and the essence of these two cities are very much behind this set of vases.

PIPER -HEIDSIECK

Piper-Heidsieck requested an object that would both be utilitarian and elegant, able to capture their “Extravaganza” spirit, the word they use to describe the brand’s personality, a combination between sophistication and creativity. Jaime Hayon’s fantasy was the sort of input they wanted. The project, a mix of past and future, was the result of this collaboration. The Seau and Vasque, champagne containers, were released in late 2006.

FAVN FOR FRITZ HANSEN

FAVN is the Danish name for embrace. This piece is the result of a creative dialogue between Jaime Hayon and Fritz Hansen. “I wanted the sofa to be based on a shell. A shell being hard on the outside, soft and welcoming on the inside. I wanted to create a form that embraces you, something really organic – that’s why we named it FAVN”. “FAVN is an evolution of Fritz Hansen’s design language that brings together the qualities of Spanish and Danish design”. The new sofa is presented in ten unique Designer Selections; light grey, sage green, clear beige, taupe, chocolate, moutarde, red, violet, dark blue and black. It includes a mix of three fabrics to express the form of its three main components; the shell, seat and back and decorative cushions. The combination of texture and tone is appealing to the visual and emotional senses.

RO FOR FRITZ HANSEN

“Ro” means tranquillity in Danish. The name was chosen because it captures the point of the chair in just two letters, thus reflecting the Nordic approach and concept of beauty.

Ro is made with great craftsmanship and in the highest sustainable quality. Combined with the sculptural and elegant design, the result is a functional and aesthetic chair that fascinates its surroundings. One seems to fall in love with it. Ro does not compromise on either comfort or aesthetics.

Time for reflection is a luxury in today’s world. We are all busy and always short of time to create a moment for quiet contemplation. The new easy chair springs from a desire to create a piece of furniture that offers an opportunity for reflection in our urban busy lives.

However, Ro is much more than an easy chair. It’s a 1½-seater where you can relax, change positions and have your newspaper, computer or child next to you and create a new comfort zone.

The design of the shell is elegant and simple, pleasing to both the eye and the body and offers the promise of tranquillity in both its visual expression and its comfortable functionality. Furthermore, the form of the shell gives you the choice of being part of what goes on in the room or relaxing in your own private space.
“We put a great deal of effort into the form of the chair, which is inspired by the human body. We wanted a chair that was comfortable as well as beautiful. My goal was to create a slim and elegant chair that encourages reflection and comfort,” says Jaime Hayon.
The easy chair is available in nine colours: three traditional options (black, grey and taupe), three bright colours (violet, blue and yellow) and three soft colours (light pink, sage-green and sand). For a more vibrant look, the chair features two different textures: one for the seat shell and one for the cushions, which supports the contrasted expression of the hard shell and the warm and soft interior.

It has quality, personality, elegance, the right point of romanticism and lots of versatility, just right for the home as well as contract. The collection is divided for outdoor pieces, with the purpose of recuperating classic elegant furniture for the garden with contemporary style, and the indoor collection, that includes an armchair and a sofa with a sophisticated imagery, now presented with new finishes and upholstery.

PARACHILNA CHINOZ LAMPS

In Jaime’s hands, the classical urn shape that we have known forever is updated without losing an ounce of it’s former elegance.
Chinoz is a table lamp featuring a ceramic body crafted by Bosa that comes in green, red and black finishing. The dimmer runs along a vertical groove in the ceramics body. The base of the lamp is the outcome of Pere’s work, as he patiently turns the wood on a lathe in his workshop in Menorca. Later, this wood is carefully lacquered, a practice that requires patience, a slow deliberate approach. Sand, (following the wood grains), seal, polish, paint, polish, varnish. Available in black, burgundy or ocher lacquered wood and can be combined with any of the ceramic finishes. The elegant glass shade perfectly complements any choice of body and base.

THE TOURNAMENT

Launched at the London Design Festival 2009, The Tournament, an installation created by Hayon consists of a gigantic chess set, with 2m high ceramic chess pieces designed by Hayon on a specially created Bisazza mosaic glass chess board. Each of the 32 chess pieces has been handcrafted by Hayon, working with Bosa, the Italian ceramics experts in Veneto, Italy. Each chess piece is unique, having been hand-painted by Hayon himself. The Tournament was inspired by London and its history and heritage. The Battle of Trafalgar was organized like a chess game of naval strategy. Many of the chess pieces reference specific iconic buildings in London and their domes, towers and spires. Elements of the city of London and its history have been encoded on the pieces using Hayon’s very personal style.

TUDOR CHAIR FOR ESTABLISHED & SONS

Tudor chair and cabinet for Established and Sons. Date of release: April 2009.

The Tudor Cabinet is a continuation of the gothic and historically inspired Tudor Chair. The family of storage systems uses simple symbolic forms to emulate the theatrical architecture and opulence of the 16th Century. Iconic forms loyal to the Tudor period are evident in the shapes used within the details of the design, particularly in the glass panel and door handles. The high gloss lacquer finish, available in white, red or black speaks of royal luxury in a modern context.

The Tudor chairs take their inspiration from the six wives of Henry VIII, each with its own identity expressed through variations of upholstery and finishing. The highly polished finishes and upholstery stitching inspired from traditional quilting help the chairs emanate fine opulence and spectacle with modern flair.

AFGHAN FOLKLORE FOR NODUS

With my new design for Nodus in collaboration with artisans of Afghanistan, I explore the folklore of the culture through the medium of tapestry. Inspired by the vibrant life of Afghan culture, I incorporated certain elements such as beautiful dresses with traditional patterns and a symphony of instruments into the design, and paired them together with my own whimsical style. The Afghanartisans use a very special technique of tapestry which brings the design to life with sharp detail down to the last thread. In my previous collaboration with Nodus, I sought to bring Japanese folklore together with the heritage of Nodus, which has long stood for quality and the bridging of East and West. With this new collaboration, I hope to bring happiness to living spaces with the joyful imagery of Afghan folklore and the craftsmanship of the country’s artisans. Jaime Hayon.

GREEN CHICKEN

The chicken, a rather unexplored shape, found its place amongst my green dreams. I wanted to portray this common bird as a sensational object by amplifying its characteristics and dimensions, turning it into a modern piece, one of great beauty and utility: a rocking chair. The movement, subtle and constant, would give the object a zoom-like trait, a sense of speed and dynamism. My green chicken had taken on a face, a shape, a place and a function.

CATCH CHAIR FOR & TRADITION

This single piece, organically shaped armchair designed by Hayon for &tradition, was inspired by the harmony of curves. Sinuous movements in nature, the push and pull of rounded forms and the interplay of light and shadows, Curves are both seductive and comforting, the natural embellishment and enhancement to linear forms. The key to the design was the creation of a flexible, comfortable shape that would adjust to various body types with its modern and inviting form. A combination of rich materials and various finishes allow for a wide range of options: from a basic naked shell to quality Kvadrat wool upholstery or a luxurious leather alternative. Available in various finishes and ergonomically designed with a high backrest, the chair is both functional and comfortable. Celebrating versatility, it can be used in intimate settings, casual comfort or in the stripped down minimal atmosphere of the workspace. Simplicity, elegance and function combine to make the design consistent with the rich heritage of the &tradition brand while introducing contradictory playfulness, combining Mediterranean exuberance with Nordic restraint, joy and logic in harmony with nature.

MEDITERRENEAN DIGITAL BAROQUE

The Mediterranean Digital Baroque exhibit opened at the David Gill Galleries in London in October 2003. The exhibit featured creatures that sign and defend the root of creation. The house. The head. Full of fake and plastic characters. Adult games. A virgin army defended by supersonic pigs. Engulfed in a metamorphic fragile traditional ceramic forest. A vital and ironic manifesto about this artist’s personal cosmogony that is devised of mature languages from heterogeneous worlds: his birthplace, Madrid and the Francophone culture from his childhood. Skateboarding from cani suburbs and baja California. Gestuality, surrealism, baroque, density, dynamism, intuition, dementia, risk, tenderness, mathematical warrior of nature, energetic strength, delirium, histrionic exaggeration, emulation and creativity.
