Revamp Porky’s

June 27th – July 3rd 2021

The Workshop

Porky's is an institution. 30 year's ago, when Boisbuchet's workshops started, participants and staff installed their party venue in the Domaine's old pig stables, which today are the library. Later on, Porky's had been transferred to the chateau's run-down basement and kept it's original name, which still fits perfectly the character of the weekly costume parties. Over the years however, the condition of this dark space featuring a dancefloor, a bar, a lounge, and a dungeon has not at all improved. Boisbuchet now gives you the chance to design and realize a new interior for what many famous designers call one of the world's most exclusive party locations. There is no better occasion to celebrate Boisbuchet's anniversary, so let's make this the hottest and coolest Porky's ever!

These collections put Jaime at the forefront of a new wave that blurred the lines between art, decoration and design, also added a renaissance in finely-crafted, intricate objects within the context of contemporary design culture.

Jaime further defined his vision in subsequent solo exhibitions and shows at major galleries, and design and art fairs all over the globe. After founding Hayon Studio in 2001, his wide client base has spanned diverse functions and mediums, including domestic furniture for B.D. Barcelona, Cassina, Fritz Hansen, &Tradition, and Magis; lighting fixtures for Parachilna, Metalarte and Swarovski; and sophisticated objects for Bisazza, Lladró and Baccarat.
