Lladro’s The Fantasy, a collection of marvellous porcelain pieces appear to the surreal. Created by artistic advisor Jamie Hayon, The Fantasy features fantastical themes – circus, dreams, magic – combined with the familiar – love, family, childhood – to produce truly delightful pieces that standout from the more traditional themes of the Spanish company. It is the first collection signed by Hayon, who has been at the creative helm since 2006. The pieces follow a simple color scheme, each highlighted with a few splashes of intense color, particularly on the shoes. The shoes are important as they are porcelain replicas of the leather shoes Hayon designs for Majorcan company, Camper. The fusion of Hayon’s worlds, porcelain and fashion, surprises the viewer with a balance of expression and function in the pieces, which range from candle holder’s to vases to decorative family scenes. The Love Explosion is the hallmark piece, a more than three-feet tall realization of Hayon’s central ideas of love, playfulness, dreams and humor.
