Jaime Hayon was in London last week for several events. First up he gave a talk as part of London Design Week, introducing a VIP crowd to his history and current work. Last Thursday saw the launch of his latest interior for Camper Shoes at the flagship store in London.

Finally, Aram Gallery held a superb opener for Jaime’s exhibition of furniture and scultptural ceramics. Many a glass of champagne was consumed – along with some fine ham and chocolates!

Whilst you may not be familiar with Hayon’s other design work outside of his toys – it is well worth examining to discover the intricate process he goes through to produce amazing product. Jaime has been around the toy scene for nearly 10 years, with close ties to Devilrobots and Toy2r having been formed over that time. He has been strongly influenced by the forms of characters – and has created little figures within more wodely considered product (see the bunny head ceramic vase above). Expect Hayon to return to the toy scene very soon… but not in the form you may be expecting…!
