Bird-headed men, floating body parts and turtles adorn Jaime Hayon's new rugs, revealed by Spanish brand Nanimarquina at Milan design week.
Hayon x Nani系列专为制造商成立30周年纪念而设计,是以西班牙设计师创作的原创草图为基础的。蜘蛛插图的特点是一系列不寻常的人物,包括动物头像和抽象图案形状的人物。
Designed for the rug maker's 30th anniversary, the Hayon x Nani collection is based on original sketches created by the Spanish designer. The spidery illustrations feature an array of unusual characters, including human figures with animal heads and abstract patterned shapes.
Each rug was made using a hand-tufting technique, where a manually operated gun adds strands of wool to the design. This allowed Hayon's original drawings to be closely recreated. The carpets have around 50,000 knots per square metre.
根据《Dezeen Hot List》,Hayon是2016年度最受欢迎的设计师之一。在开始自己的工作室之前,他曾为摄影师Oliviero Toscani工作,并领导了贝纳通Fabrica研究中心的设计部门。
The designer – whose giant Stone Age Folk masks are also being shown at Milan design week – created four different rugs, including a square design that can be hung as a tapestry.
Hayon was among the most popular designers of 2016 according to Dezeen Hot List. Before starting his own studio, he worked for photographer Oliviero Toscani and headed up the design department at Benetton's Fabrica research centre.
He's unveiled several projects in 2017 alone, including a pop-up pavilion for Stockholm Furniture Fair and playful interiors for a Madrid hotel.
"Who better than Jamie and his surreal world full of characters to celebrate our 30th anniversary? Someone who defies conventions and evokes smiles, vitality, and a joy for life," said the brand's founder Nani Marquina, who set up the company in 1987.
Since then, Nanimarquina has focused on pairing contemporary designers – such as Doshi Levien and Martí Guixé – with traditional rug-making techniques.
手工的复兴在米兰设计周已经是一个反复出现的主题,其中包括日本漆器的更新版本。
Hayon x Nani展览于4月4日至9日在米兰设计周举行。 还在家具展上推出的是由Emeco推出的贾斯珀•莫里森新设的1英寸椅子,设计师将其描述为他职业生涯中最复杂的一个,由俄勒冈州设计师Erdem Selek设计的极简螺丝刀。
The revival of craft has been a recurring theme at Milan design week, which has included updated versions of Japanese lacquerware.
The Hayon x Nani exhibition is at Salone del Mobile from 4 to 9 April. Also launching at the furniture fair is the new 1 Inch chair by Jasper Morrison for Emeco, which the designer describes as one of the most complicated of his career, and a minimalist screwdriver set by Oregon-based designer Erdem Selek.
