about the designer:
born in madrid in 1974 and trained in industrial design, jaime hayon's creative talents know no bounds. Seamlessly transitioning between furniture and design objects, interior design, installations, sculptures and paintings, he crafts a narrative universe that is uniquely his own.
hayon's work embodies his distinct perspective on the world — a whimsical yet insightful exploration of the human psyche. His deep-seated connection to art in every facet of his life is embodied in his zoomorphic, colourful, and folkloric pieces. Hayon offers a captivating glimpse into his imaginative realm. Like a 21st-century archaeologist, he examines and excavates recurrent themes of diversity, metamorphosis, and hybridisation to create a visual language that is accessible, intriguing, and instantly identifiable as hayon. His relationship with materials, notably marble, stone, glass, wood and ceramics, is integral to this language, taking a visceral and intuitive approach to colour and technique.
with a career spanning over 25 years, hayon has continuously refined his aesthetic across diverse disciplines, with his body of work standing as a testament to his unwavering curiosity and commitment to artistic evolution and innovation.
about the manufacturer:
bd has been around for over half a century. It was founded in a nightclub in 1972 by a bunch of young architects and designers from barcelona. They broke into the design world with a new vision: to produce and market their designs, and the designs of their friends with complete creative freedom and design criteria. Beginning with the designs of contemporaries like ettore sottsass, rennie mackintosh and álvaro siza, bd provoked a curiosity about design. These early pieces helped bring international recognition to the country’s design scene, and many of them still exist today.

they are an international design company run by a collective ownership —apartamento magazine (nacho alegre, omar sosa, marco velardi), taller bofill (pablo bofill, ricardo bofill, luna paiva, hernán cortés, fernando de la mata), and igor urdampilleta from arquitectura-g— all architects, publishers and designers. Along with one of the founders, oscar tusquets, this group fosters the same nonconformist spirit bd has had since its beginnings. Their independence as a company fuels their intentions and supports this purpose. Bd are now expanding their design dialogue to delve into diverse realms of creativity, in design and in everything they do. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
