Crazy, dreamlike and full of humor, like a party: this is the 2022 Troupe collection by Jaime Hayon. The imaginary universe of the artist is highlighted to perfection in this medium.
Troupe is a hand-tufted rug, making it possible to best transpose the work of Jaime Hayon, and to act like a real painting created from a blank canvas. It is a contemporary piece that preserves and brings to life a thousand-year-old cultural heritage, while bearing the unique stamp of the craftsmen who make it.
It's a rug that speaks of friends, children, freedom of spirit and spontaneity. Animals of all shapes and sizes float through space, strangers to boredom. A one-of-a-kind flock available in four sizes in a balanced and harmonious color palette.
The hand tufting technique requires a gun-like tool to puncture the fibers in a fabric that has been stretched beforehand into a frame. To start the process, the threads are punched in the areas marked by the mapping - a way to transfer the desired design to the carpet backing. The threads are then cut and shaved to achieve the desired pile height.
The drawing is contoured with scissors or a needle in order to correctly define the different areas of the pattern. Once the pattern is set, a layer of latex is applied to the backing of the rug to ensure that the strands stay attached to the structure. Finally, a layer of fabric is applied to act as a lining, providing a quality finish. This technique, in addition to offering freedom of creation, is a guarantee of a carpet of quality, high density and durability.

Jaime Hayón
Born in Madrid in 1974, Jaime Hayón has one of the most glittering careers in recent contemporary design. Although trained in Madrid, he forged his reputation at Fabrica, the creative breeding ground run by Benetton near the Italian city of Treviso. Arriving in 1997, at the young age of 24, Hayón worked for Oliviero Toscani, who would soon place him in charge of the design department. It was at Fabrica that Hayón first worked with BD on the Mail Me project.
In 2004, he decided to branch out on his own, settling in Barcelona and working on a number of projects while also exhibiting his more personal work in art galleries. The exhibition “Mediterranean Digital Baroque”, at London’s David Gill Gallery, and the bathroom collection he designed for ArtQuitect marked the start of his meteoric international rise, which was established with the Showtime collection for BD and his subsequent work with companies such as Metalarte, Camper, Lladró, Bisazza, Swarovsky, and Moooi.
