In 2008, the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, bestowed its highest honor upon Jaime Hayon, naming him the youngest ever Guest of Honour for its 21st edition. Under the guidance of project coordinator Dieter Van Den Storm, the Spanish designer, celebrated for his whimsical approach and boundless creativity, presented the first major retrospective of his work.
This landmark exhibition served as a comprehensive exploration of Hayon’s artistic evolution, charting his career from early designs to his most recent, innovative creations. The installation offered an intimate look into the vibrant and fantastical universe of a designer who has continually challenged conventions and captivated the design world with his uninhibited imagination. The retrospective solidified Hayon’s place as a singular voice and a pioneering force in contemporary design.
