James Haywood is a Franco-British designer and artist based in the south of France, whose work explores the intersection of sculpture, material innovation and functional design.

With a background in aerospace engineering, Haywood brings a distinctive approach to contemporary design, combining technical precision with an intuitive appreciation for form, texture and balance. His practice is driven by a fascination with materials and their potential, exploring alternatives to conventional concrete through the use of innovative mineral composites and more considered production methods.

Each creation is developed through a meticulous process of experimentation and craftsmanship, resulting in sculptural objects that are both functional and expressive. Blurring the boundaries between art and design, his work celebrates simplicity, individuality and the beauty of material.

At ESTABLISHMENT, we are particularly drawn to his Erreur 404 collection, where sculptural presence meets atmospheric lighting, bringing an unexpected artistic dimension to interior spaces.
