Space designed and created by blackLAB architects inc. in partnership with Lewitt Construction, Moses Structural Engineers, and Dark Tools.

Stone Age Folk
The first instalment of Jaime Hayon’s year-long collaboration with Caesarstone will be unveiled at IDS17, followed by a major event during Milan Design Week in April. Titled “Stone Age Folk” Hayon will use Caesarstone as the essential component of his whimsical universe inspired by fauna – the natural world – and folklore – the mythical world. Blending fantasy with functionality, playfulness with craft, and interactivity with cultural references, Hayon will create a kaleidoscopic and harmonic installation. Visitors will recognize his signature smiling characters popping up throughout the space, alongside joyful carousels, wall panels, lights and tables.
“People tend to see Caesarstone as a material that is only used in kitchens, but I looked at it from the viewpoint of an artist and designer. With this in mind, I wanted to create my own imaginative cosmos, using the brand’s quartz material alongside other noble materials like glass and metal.” – Jaime Hayon
The installation uses over 48 different Caesarstone colours combined
with metal and glass, employing traditional techniques of stone
marquetry and metal crafting, showcasing Caesarstone as a precious
stone.
