Does Lladró collaborate with contemporary designers and artists?

Lladró has engaged several contemporary designers to refresh its image and explore new aesthetics. One of the best-known names linked to the brand is Jaime Hayon, a Spanish designer who created playful sculptures and lighting pieces that combine fantasy, humour and sleek forms. Collaborations like this move away from traditional pastel figurines and introduce bolder colours, stylised faces and abstract details. Lladró’s design lab works with illustrators, product designers and artists who bring new ideas about scale and composition. Many of these pieces appear in limited runs and are marketed through design-focused galleries and concept stores rather than classic gift shops. Collectors who enjoy both design and porcelain often follow these collaborations closely, since they bridge craft and contemporary art. The core figurine range continues alongside these projects, so long-time fans still find the romantic and classical themes that made the brand famous.
