DESIGNER/ YEAR OF DESIGN

Jaime Hayon, 2013

DESIGNER

Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayon was born in Madrid in

1974. As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard

culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold

yet whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today.

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. Eight years later, Jaime broke out on his own,

first with his collections of designer toys, ceramics and

furniture, later followed by interior design and installations.
