Milan 08: here are photos of Jaime Hayon’s Jet Set installation for Bisazza at Superstudio Più in Milan’s Zona Tortona last month.
See our previous story for more images and information from Bisazza.
Here’s some text from Hayon:
–
I loved the idea of having the opportunity to create a humorous and more sophisticated version of such a serious and functional object: a plane.
The piece has a very charming integrated shape using crystal for the cabin and leather in the wings. With colorful weapons and love symbols this is a fun plane, set in the hangar of glamour. It is made of fiber and silver mosaic, which gives a luxurious and surreal effect to the object.
Black and white lines in the floor in Bisazza glass tiles create speed and movement. Reminiscing an old
I can imagine this object flying out a couple of lovers drinking champagne to deliver energy and good vibes across their journey. Jet set is a living room plane; an art object in a fantasy installation that shows the potential use of the Bisazza materials.

insisto en que no entiendo estos procesos de diseño, me parece la cosas mas banal, vacía y demás que podría ofrecerse. No entiendo como gente se presta para financiar estos productos

Whatever it cost, it was probaly a similar investment of a full-page add in a major publication.
I think it is a fantastic object that truly captures Jaime Hayons imagaination, congradulations on your sucess JH!!

I feel a little wave of anger that I have been robbed of the 30 sec of my life it took to look at this pile of steaming self indulgence. The Plane doesn’t even have any aesthetic merit – looks like the work of a 12 yr old.
Maybe for his next piece he will contribute something of value to the design community. And for anyone that responds to this with a ” At least it makes you think. . ..” or “It challenges perceptions. . .” comment – you are wrong. The only thing it challenges are limits and boundries of what people are willing to accept as good design. Its all getting a bit Turner Prize for me.
There lunchtime rant over.

no chris. the turner price entries are inteligent.

more rhetorical waste time…. no wonder design is cornered into a petty subject….. yes I know we live in a democracy, and we all have the right to provoke…etc. but really this is pure self -referential rubbish…

I like it, have you ever seen some of the instillations at art biennials and biennale’s ? Some of that stuff looks like giant stool samples and pipe cleaners.
