Ask for informationDesigned by Jaime Hayon, the Explorer Vases distil the thought-provoking Explorer collection. Jamie Hayon’s expressive creativity spreads a colourful roundness and rich sheen into a series of vases. They embody the Explorer collection and fit into their physical environment with Hayon’s whimsical attitude. The forms remain bold yet playful, incorporating his design style through three portable and polished designs. « The shapely forms of the Explorer Collection pieces have been condensed into these vases. They are objects that are part of my cosmos, taken from my drawings. The materialisation of these requires great skill because of the apparent contradiction of joining a ceramic rounded piece to another rounded shape.”
About the brand
In 1972, a group of young architects and designers from Barcelona started BD. They pioneered a new era, establishing a design market in Spain and producing furniture and objects for architectural projects with complete creative freedom – in form and function. Beginning with the designs of Ettore Sottsass and Álvaro Siza, BD provoked a curiosity about design. These early pieces helped bring international recognition to the country’s design scene, and many of them still exist today. 50 years later, we are an international design company run by a new collective owner —Apartamento Magazine, Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura, Igor Urdampilleta from Arquitectura-G, and Hernan Cortés— all architects, artists and designers. Along with one of the founders, Oscar Tusquets, this group of new owners fosters the same daring and nonconformist spirit BD had in its beginnings.
