ME THE BEST OF

Jade Jagger, Zaha Hadid and Jaime Hayon talk about their most- cherished creations.

- By SANHITA SINHA CHOWDHURY

1. JADE JAGGER

She took painting lessons from Andy Warhol at the age of four and taught the pop- artist Monoply in exchange. Being the daughter of Biance and Mick Jagger, creativity was in her genes and she chose a variety of pursuits to showcase it. When art and jewellery failed to keep her busy, she ventured into interiors. In 2005 she joined yoo, as creative director of Jade Jagger for yoo, to design apartments with designer Thomas Bartlett.

2. ZAHA HADID

The works of this Iraqi- British architect are ambitious acts of imaginatio­n, which some find impractica­l while others adore. She experiment­s with cutting- edge technology to create buildings which integrate design, landscape and geology. Her style and philosophy transcends global boundaries, be it the wonders she cleverly churned out in London for the Olympics or the Guangzhou Opera House in China.

3. JAIME HAYON

This non- conformist Spanish creator defines himself as an artist and not a designer, a trait which unifies his whimsical works which remain untouched by a particular style or period. He layers each product with drawings which are powered by his imaginatio­n and wit, and are often inspired by street culture and animal figurines. When asked about his design sensibilit­ies, he casually says that he just wants to have some fun.
