  Vessel Gallery is proud to present renowned Spanish designer Jaime Hayon's first collection for porcelain company par excellence Lladro. Following his appointment as Artistic Director of the company last year Hayon has produced a truly innovative contemporary range of vases, candle holders and figurines in his own distinctive visual language.

Hayon's star is truly in the ascendant in the international creative firmament. Being a real Renaissance man he has applied his extensive talents to furniture, products and even architecture with companies as diverse as Bisazza, Camper, Benetton and Villa Moda.

His flamboyant style fuses a bold colour palate to witty and surrealist forms, a style he calls 'Mediterranean digital baroque'. Ever the entertainer, Hayon plays with cicrus imagery, kitsch family groupings, stream lined fluid shapes, and even pays homage to himself with new versions of his chicken rocker or figures wearing his designs for Camper shoes.
