Ikeru vases by Jaime Hayon are simple designs for flower arrangements, inspired by the Japanese art of ‘Ikebana’. Metal flutes hold individual flowers for a full appreciation of every flower from many angles. Water in the glass trays below keep flowers fresh. Overall, the designs are transparent and direct in their intention to honour every flower placed within them. Ikeru is an invitation to appreciate nature or to create an arrangement to share.

Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayón was born in Madrid in 1974. As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today. After studying industrial design in Madrid and Paris he joined Fabrica in 1997, the Benetton-funded design and communication academy, working closely with the legendary image-maker and agitator Oliverio Toscani. In a short time he was promoted from student to head of their Design Department, where he oversaw projects ranging from shop, restaurant and exhibition conception and design to graphics. Eight years later, Jaime broke out on his own, first with collections of designer toys, ceramics and furniture, followed by interior design and installation. These collections put Jaime at the forefront a new wave of creators that blurred the lines between art, decoration and design and a renaissance in finely-crafted, intricate objects within the context of contemporary design culture.
