HAYON STUDIO
Jaime Hayón is a Spanish artist and designer who has his online casino roots in skateboard culture and graffiti art. After studying industrial design in Madrid and Paris he joined Fabrica in 1997, the Benetton-funded design and communication academy, working closely with the legendary image-maker and agitator Oliverio Toscani. In a short time he was promoted from student to head of their Design Department, where he oversaw projects ranging from shop, restaurant and exhibition conception and design to graphics.
Eight years later, Jaime started on his own, first with collections of designer toys, ceramics and furniture, followed by interior design and installations.
His ongoing work as a creative consultant for the Spanish porcelain manufacturer Lladró has resulted in a new direction for the company, as well as Jaime’s own collection ‘Fantasy’.
