Since its launch in 2013, Caesarstone’s Designer Collaboration Programme has pushed the frontiers of experiential design with works from nendo studio, Raw Edges, Philippe Malouin and Tom Dixon. The project was references the famous Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Stone Age Folk last room – Palazzo Serbelloni former ballroom – showcases the Hayon’s main pavilion.

“ Together, all the pieces enable the visitor to playfully interact with the material in a fresh, unexpected way“. A second room hosts dining and small coffee tables inspired by penguins as well as a cabinet shaped like a clown’s face. Visitors are welcomed by a large wall sculpture inspired by an African mask and made of Caesarstone geometrical parts. And that opens new possibilities.” Said Jaime Hayon at the opening of the exhibition. Caesarstone products allow you to create designs that you can’t do with other materials like marble. “ In the past year I have been thinking about what is doable with technology. Tribal masks and Hayon’s signature clowns faces are featured on large-scale wall panels and presented alongside playful carousels, handcrafted furniture pieces and light fixtures made of Caesarstone materials. The result is a pavilion combining glass and 40 different nuances of meticulously handcrafted quartz that have then been implanted into a metal frame to compose fantasy patterns. Jaime Hayon worked on Caesarstone’s materials and technologies to experiment with colours and shapes.
