Jaime Hayon

Born in 1974, Jaime Hayon is a talented and versatile designer who studied design in Madrid and later in Paris before embarking on an international career. Today, he divides his time between London, where he resides, Barcelona, where his team is based, and Treviso, where his manufacturing workshop is located.

Heir to influences as diverse as Salvador Dalí and Pedro Almodóvar, his universe is a fascinating blend of art, decoration, craftsmanship, and industrial design, where baroque, playful, and contemporary elements coexist.

His style is characterized by a joyfully exuberant approach and a desire to reinterpret classic forms with a touch of irreverence.

Hayon does not hesitate to take on projects as varied as vanity-inspired sanitaryware for ArQuitects, loafers for Camper, or sophisticated candlesticks for Baccarat.

His eclectic work extends to collaborations with major international brands such as Bosa, Lladró, Magis, and BD Barcelona. Among his most celebrated creations is the Showtime collection for BD Barcelona, featuring a leather-upholstered armchair—an intriguing, bold piece that commands attention and perfectly illustrates Hayon’s offbeat aesthetic.

He claims a return to style as a unique signature, both artistic and functional—a blend of beauty and fantasy that has become his trademark.

Nicknamed “the Almodóvar of design” for his ability to merge sensuality and exuberance, Hayon quickly rose to prominence, with a retrospective at the Courtrai Design Biennale in Belgium and a monograph published by German publisher Gestalten within just a few years.

His growing influence earned him recognition from Times Magazine and Wallpaper Magazine, which ranked him among the most influential designers of the past decade. His creations are distinguished by a respect for traditional artisanal methods, infused with his own unique and whimsical style.

Jaime Hayon continues to push the boundaries of design, with a rare ability to fuse tradition and innovation—establishing himself as one of the leading figures in contemporary design.
