“Jaime Hayon: InfinitaMente” will bring together at the Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània the universe of renowned designer Jaime Hayon, 2021 Spanish National Design Award winner. The exhibition, which can be visited from September 22 in the Ferreres and Goerlich rooms of the CCCC, has been curated by Hayonstudio and organised and produced along with the Consorci de Museus de la Comunitat Valenciana and the CCCC and will take place within the framework of the official program of València World Design Capital 2022.
“Jaime Hayon: InfinitaMente” will show a selection of the most iconic works of the versatile Madrid-born creator. The project will be a journey through his personal universe and his creative process through materials, tools, inspiration and references. This is the first large-scale showcase of Jaime Hayon’s work to be held in Spain and will be launched to coincide with the World Design Street Festival —one of the most eagerly awaited Signature events on the capital’s calendar— and Valencia Disseny Week. “Jaime Hayon: InfinitaMente” will remain open to the public until April 16, 2023.
An endless creative universe
“Jaime Hayon: InfinitaMente” will show a selection of this charismatic creators’ most iconic works, both in the fields of artistic pieces and installations as well as industrial products for companies. The show also includes works that have never been presented in Spain, such as “Masquemask” —an exhibition of 7 large tapestry-masks designed for the LODZ Design Museum—, “Mesamachine” or “Mediterranean Digital Baroque” —one of the designer’s first exhibitions—, as well as large format paintings and sculptures.
Visitors will be able to find a selection of products and furniture produced over the 20 years of Hayon Studio, including unique and limited-edition pieces along with samples of processes and raw materials, which will allow them to discover all the details that are not normally visible. Glass and ceramics, major players in Hayon’s work, will be the central focus of two of the rooms, whose core themes will be creativity applied to the material and the search for different expressive tools within each of the disciplines.
The central section will be dedicated to the creative process behind pieces of furniture, lighting and accessories of a commercial nature, highlighting the behind the scenes of the creations and revealing freely the references, sources of inspiration and details of both industrial and handcrafted production, which both enrich their story and put the pieces in context. Also on display will be sketchbooks, notebooks and drawings, as well as various objects, samples and prototypes of Hayon’s most personal works.
