Spanish designer and artist Jaime Hayon will be one of the most influential designers in the years to come, and this is the first monograph to present the full spectrum of his work. Ranging from clear and harmonious to playfully extravagant, all of the included examples of interiors, furniture, tableware and decorative ceramics attest to his inimitable grasp of form, style and colour. In addition to celebrated collaborations with clients such as Camper, Swarovski and Bisazza, Jaime Hayon Works contains previously unreleased personal sketches, illustrations and productions of new projects that will make its world premiere debut at the annual Milan Furniture Fair in April 2008.

To think of drainage systems as anything but cesspools of waste is really difficult for me and I suspect for lots of other people as well. Honfay Lui is trying to change that way of thinking, and to that effect he designed Matrix, the world’s first contextual drainage system. Matrix is made up of perforated slabs of square metals corresponding to the 26 letters of the Roman alphabet and the numbers 0 through 9. The purpose behind this scrabble-like style of drain is to enable drainage systems to deliver contextual messages much in the same way billboards do.
Pretty clever.
