Together with Lane Crawford, Design Link, a designer furniture company founded by German Nils Neckel in 1998, invites Spanish designer and artist Jaime Hayón, one of the most influential designers in years, to exclusively showcase his collections in Lane Crawford’s Pacific Place home store, where the Courtyard Centre Studio is transformed into an exhibition to display the designer’s extraordinary pieces. On October 23, Lane Crawford will launch Jaime Hayón Works, the first monograph, a highly detailed and thoroughly documented book about Jaime Hayón that presents the full spectrum of his work and published by Gestalten.


Being a multifaceted creator, Hayón’s work has developed in diverse areas encompassing curatorial roles, artistic roles and design work. As a curator he has organised, along with the British Council and Experimenta, events of relevance such as the latest edition of the Lisbon Biennial of Design. As an artist, his exclusive furniture design work was first brought to life at London’s David Gill Gallery, and has been presented in numerous cities, such as Barcelona, Minneapolis, Lisbon, Paris and Cologne, where they received tremendous success and attention.
