Caesarstone presents 'Stone Age Folk' by Jaime Hayon

Milan 2017

Leading quartz manufacturer Caesarstone announces its collaboration with world renowned designer Jaime Hayon for their 2017 Designer Programme, which, since 2013, has pushed the boundaries of experiential design with work from nendo, Raw Edges, Philippe Malouin and Tom Dixon. The first installment of this year-long collaboration will be unveiled in January 2017 at the Interior Design Show, Toronto, followed by a major event during Milan Design Week in April.

Under the title of “Stone Age Folk” Hayon will use Caesarstone as a precious component of his whimsical universe inspired by Fauna – the natural world - and folklore. Blending fantasy with functionality, playfulness with craft and interactivity with cultural references, Hayon will create a kaleidoscopic, yet harmonic installation, which includes his signature smiling characters popping up throughout the space, alongside joyful carousels, wall panels, lights and tables.

The installation uses over 48 different Caesarstone colours combined with metal and glass, employing high-end traditional techniques of stone marquetry and metal crafting, elevating Caesarstone material to the luxury of a precious stone.
