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 anew 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 theSerious 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.
