Born in Madrid in 1974, Jaime Hayón has one of the most successful careers in contemporary design. Although trained in Madrid, he made his name at Fabrica, the Benetton-run creative source near the Italian city of Treviso. Arriving in 1997 at the age of 24, Hayón worked for Oliviero Toscani, who soon appointed him head of the design department. It was at La Fabrica that Hayón first worked with BD on the Mail Me project.
In 2004, he decided to diversify, moving to Barcelona and working on several projects while exhibiting his more personal work in art galleries. The “Mediterranean Digital Baroque” exhibition at London's David Gill Gallery and the bathroom collection he designed for ArtQuitect marked the start of his meteoric rise to international prominence, created with the Showtime collection for BD and his subsequent work with companies such as Metalarte, Camper, Lladró, Bisazza, Swarovsky and Moooi.
