 “I’m working with stone in a totally different way here, shifting a material normally serving for kitchen worktops and bathroom cladding to a more artistic and kaleidoscopic field of expression and building a fantasy world anything can fit into – from furniture to architectural space.” This is how Jaime Hayon, artist-designer from Madrid with a neo-baroque and highly imaginative poetic, sees his latest work for Caesarstone, a point of reference in the world of reconstructed quartz surfaces.

 

“Stone Age Folk” is its title and the project showcases imagery employing circus masks and purely geometric decorations to compose a fantasy world inspired by the animal kingdom and the folklore of different cultures, from Hungarian myths to African tribal influences. Dining tables, coffee-tables and cabinets become bird-like and animated characters in this imaginary circus.

As well as small objects, this Fuorisalone event revolves around a large metallic structure incorporating pieces of reconstructed stone, set like precious gems in a filigree reminder of another legendary presence – that of Crystal Palace, the structure designed by Joseph Paxton and erected in Hyde Park for the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, conventionally considered to mark the birth of Modernity.
