DESIGNER
JAIME HAYON
Breaking down the boundaries between design, art and decoration, Jaime Hayon has built a universe rich in color and emotion that echoes Maison Matisse’s mission: paying tribute to the joie de vivre dear to Henri Matisse’s works.
Jaime Hayon is a Spanish artist born in Madrid in 1974. The so-called "Almodovar of design" hasn't stopped designing avant-garde pieces since then. Breaking down the boundaries between design, art and decoration, the member of Wallpaper's top 100 contemporary designers has built a world that's complex yet sophisticated.
With a talent for bringing fantasy and restraint together, Jaime Hayon has become a benchmark figure in contemporary design with his signature style that has twice earned him the Elle Decoration International Design award (2006 and 2012), as well as the Spanish National Design Award in 2021.
The bold and visionary former curator of the Lisbon Art Biennial designs furniture and lighting from his Italian and Catalan offices as well as the interiors of top international hotels such as Barcelo Torre in Madrid.
From September 2022 to April 2023 the event "Jaime Hayon: InfinitaMente" is held, the first large-scale exhibition of Jaime Hayon's work to be held in Spain, launched on the occasion of the World Design Street festival in Valencia, World Design Capital 2022.
Packed with color and emotion, Jaime Hayon's work brings in artisan expertise and radiates a joie de vivre that is dear to Maison Matisse and its namesake's legacy. The three limited-edition vases that he has designed for the brand on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Henri Matisse (1869 collection) reflect these shared values.

MAINTENANCE ADVICE
We recommend cleaning this product with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The use of abrasive products is not recommended. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may alter the color of the pieces.
INSPIRATION
The result of the collaboration between Jaime Hayon and Maison Matisse, the Aeromaticolor vase is a tribute to Henri Matisse's work.
According to the designer: "The initial concept of the vases is based on fantastic elements: shapes, silhouettes, and natural features that melt together and float in a sea of color.”
The designer most likely found his inspiration through the love he shares with Matisse for the Mediterranean, its nature, its sea, and its strength. The region’s many distinguishing features motivated them both, each in their own way, during their creative process.
ARTS AND MATERIALS
QUALITY
The creation of the Aeromaticolor vase was entrusted to the Bosa ceramic studio, located in the Venetian countryside since its founding in 1976. A region steeped in craft tradition, Veneto is a pioneer in the field of ceramics.
White clay is first poured by hand and cast in large plaster molds. It is then polished to obtain the smoothest, most uniform biscuit possible, which will then be glazed before being decorated.
Jaime Hayon's designs are placed on the biscuit using a transfer technique that requires great precision to ensure that every inch of the vase is a perfect representation of the designer's decorative work.
The production of this vase required nearly 15 hours of work and 18 hours of firing in the kiln at 930° in order to ensure this piece is of optimal quality and can stand the test of time.
