Approach the future with optimism. Jaime Hayón's Hope Bird will lead the way.


Spanish designer Jaime Hayón’s Hope Bird is a tabletop-sized sculpture that symbolises the importance of “an optimistic approach to what lies ahead”.

Designed for Italian ceramics manufacturer Bosa, the Hope Bird stands tall and proud in a watchful position, working to convey a message about “standing tall” and being positive.

As the Hope Bird looks toward the horizon, the 72cm-high sculpture invites viewers to reflect on why it is important to have a “glass half full” attitude. 

Jaime Hayón

Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayón was born in Madrid in 1974. As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, which has formed the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today.
