Reflecting Valencian based designer Jaime Hayon's effortless casual style, the Silhouette rug subtly introduces colour, offering personality to each image depicted through delicate stroke illustration. Adding depth and tactility the chain stitch embroidery emphasizes the sensuousness of the graphic, several silhouettes of imaginary characters coexisting and intertwining in a beautiful composition. Delicate in appearance, surprisingly durable and intricately handcrafted from 100% hand-spun Afghan wool, Silhouette is an elegant and functional addition to your indoor living space, embodying many intricate elements and designed to be enjoyed from many viewpoints. Also available in an outdoor version.
Spanish artist and industrial designer Jaime Hayon was born in Madrid in 1974.
In 1997, he began working as a researcher at Fabrica, Benetton Group’s communication and research centre in Treviso, Italy. 2004 saw the start of Hayon’s individual career and he has kept himself busy with a spectrum of eclectic projects. From toys, to modern furniture and interior design as well as artistic installations, his boldness has been to transcend the borders of the often separated worlds of art and design, comfortably bridging the two whilst embedding them with his own unique style.
