After founding his eponymous studio in 2001, Hayon has designed countless pieces of furniture and home accessories, interiors and artworks, always keen on exploring new expressive forms, while maintaining a deep respect for artisan skills, finely crafted details and a passion for play. For ​Cassina, he designed a minimal collection of furniture and home accessories inspired by the organic shapes of Le Corbusier’s architectures and esprit nouveau artwork, sculptural elements composed by interplaying forms, lights and shadows. Réaction Poétique collection represents the brand’s heritage in working with wood, where skilled craftsmanship is combined with innovation.


It was a very strict challenge to use only one material and one finish, exercising my design philosophy. I feel this restriction actually became an opportunity to showcase the beauty of the wood, along with the expert mastery of Cassina’s carpentry workshop.

Thanks to his extraordinary approach to design Hayon has worked on artistic decorative pieces for ​Nodus​Afghan Folklore Rug was made in collaboration with artisans from Afghanistan, exploring the folklore of the culture through the medium of tapestry. He used the same open view to design ​Japanese Folklore Rug, approaching the oldest traditions and knowledge in the art of carpet design. Sharp details and a joyful imagery characterize these pieces that find their essence in the art universe.

Fun-tional for ​Paola C is a surrealistic collection of tabletop pieces designed to bring joy and crafted with sophisticated metalworking. The smallest details have been studied to become grand gestures in the interpretation of the brand’s style.

Being a multifaceted creator, Jamie’s work has developed in diverse areas and has won numerous awards, including multiple Elle Decoration International Design Awards, included by Wallpaper Magazine in its “Top 100” list and recognised by the magazine as one of the most influential creators of the last decade, lauded as a “visionary” and one of the most creative icons by Times magazine.
