Jaime Hayon Garden

A Fanciful Sculpture Garden.

Named after the designer himself, the Jaime Hayon Garden is the heart of MOKA Garden. The angled-glass ceilings allow in natural light on the numerous varieties of flora that instil rest and inspiration. The garden brings to the forefront a nature that’s often taken for granted and helps visitors rediscover nature’s beauty and preciousness. Born of Hayon’s imagination and each named by the artist himself, the eight unique animal-shaped sculptures (1 found at the mall entrance) and a large fountain head speak to the inner children in everyone.

“This area is meant so that people can enjoy and have a peaceful moment in it. Thought the strength of the characters that populate the space, the garden proposes a path towards thought and emotion. Each figure has been thoughtfully designed and expressions studied so that they can make a powerful connection with the visitors. The sculptures have a granite finish and details in brass.

It is one of the most important projects I’ve done so far because I could use the ability of creating designs, putting my art into sculptures and placing them with my own expressions and bringing them to life with the different proportions. It’s an amazing project.

Gardens were built in the past to be areas where people could concentrate and come back to nature even for a few minutes in the day. And this is why we have them in the city still because they become a break from the craziness of mechanical things. If I think about what I like about classical gardens, I think we’re bringing that in a modern way into this one.”
