Jaime Hayon is one of the most interesting and inspiring designers working today. He definitely marches to his own drum, taking on projects and ideas that have a bizarre, dreamy and surreal quality and working his influence on historic old firms like Lladro and Baccarat. He shakes things up, that's for sure, whether he's designing sneakers for Camper (yes, I still love them) or coming up with a new collection of glass vases that are about to launch at Design Miami/Basel in June. Alongside these borosilicate glass lovelies (the same glass used for science beakers) is a snap of Hayon's sketchbook, and an interesting peek inside the creative process (click here to read a Designboom interview with Hayon). The vases, as well as work by Studio Job and Atelier van Lieshout, will be presented by VIVID Rotterdam.
