And Tradition publishes the Momento collection, created by renowned artist and designer Jaime Hayon.
Momento - "moment" in Spanish - is a playful collection of interior design items designed to encourage us to slow down and savour life's simple pleasures.
"Momento has something to do with love, it has something to do with this idea of giving yourself a little moment of pleasure. These are objects that are already part of your life - objects that you want to have close to you," explains Hayon.
Momento embodies simplicity and total versatility and at every moment, it enriches all the little rituals of everyday life. The Momento collection includes a decanter, a candlestick and two vases; each is the result of a reflection that combines Hayon's sculptural language and signature colours.
The sculptural forms of the Momento vases are typical of Hayon's work. The two distinct rooms have a strong, playful graphic identity.
Although both Momento vases have an iconic aesthetic, the JH40 vase is finished in a soft cream, while the JH41 vase adopts a bold emerald green, two shades chosen for their versatility and relationship with fresh, floral colours.
Born in 1974, Jaime Hayon studied design in Madrid and then Paris, and now divides his time between London, where he lives, Barcelona, where his team is based, and Treviso, home to his production workshop. Heir to Dalí and Almodóvar, his baroque universe is a hybrid blend of art, decoration, crafts and industrial design. He has designed washrooms that look like dressing tables for ArQuitects, moccasins for Camper and candleholders for Baccarat. He works with some of the biggest brands: Bosa (the Bubbles lamp), Lladro (The Masquerade collection of candlesticks), Magis (the Pina armchair)... The Showtime collection for BD Barcelona is surely one of his best-known, with its intriguing, eye-catching leather upholstered armchair. Jaime Hayon claims a return to style as a unique and singular signature. The "Almodóvar of Design", as some people call him, has already, in just 5 years, had a retrospective exhibition at the Kortrijk Design Biennial in Belgium, and a monograph published by the German publisher Gestalten. He is considered by The Times Magazine and Wallpaper Magazine to be one of the most influential designers of the last decade. His creations retain the know-how of traditional craftsmanship while adding his own unique, whimsical style.
