Brigette Bardot! The mere mention of her name still unleashes a
million fantasies. A half century after her debut, Bardot resurfaces
through the imagination of Spanish design star Jamie Hayon as a
curvaceous and alluring seating ensemble. Viewing icons through a
new lens is second nature to Hayon and has produced an acclaimed
body of work for leading brands around the globe. Bardot is Hayon’s
second collection for Bernhardt Design following the release of the
Serious Fun Textile Collection.

The energetic Hayon made his mark on the
global scene in a mere six years by engaging us
with his remarkably imaginative mind coupled
with a brilliant sense of humor. His sometimes
mind-bending designs succeed by conveying a
sense of fun and he often joins in the merriment
dressed in a bunny suit, donning top hat and
tails, or decked out as Pierrot for the opening of
his show Mon Cirque.

Hayon built his reputation by creating interesting and fashionable objects for companies like Baccarat,
Gaia and Gino, Swarovski Crystal Palace, Lladro, and Camper. As a master of materials, crystal
becomes brilliant with his focus on light, porcelain becomes art, and our impression of copper is
transformed by his Grid Vases for Gaia and Gino.

Hayon has recently been called upon to paint on a larger canvas by
creating unique interiors and architectural spaces. Upon entering the
Faberge Salon in Geneva, you immediately experience serenity and
sensuality. He evokes a completely different feeling at the restaurant
La Terraza del Casino where he virtually transformed the old
gentlemen's club and created an vibrant, young atmosphere.
Entering through doors with candy cane handles, Tokyo's Camper
shop is reminiscent of a childhood trip to the candy store.
Surprises at every bend; the circus inspired interior has no
corners. Filtered light highlights his sporty yet classic shoes on
display in a multitude of colors.

Surpassing our expectations with avant-
garde ideas and memorable art
installations, Hayon continues to score
with his fearless approach to design.
Diverse projects such as Jet Set, a full
scale plane fashioned with Bisazza tile or
a rocking hotdog in his American Chateau
Collection keep us wanting more. A
massive chess set in Trafalgar Square
made of hand-painted pieces was the
centerpiece of the London Design Festival
and raised the city's awareness of design
to a new level.
