Layout Collection

Hay Layout Collection – Flexible chair design with a graphic, airy feel

Modern spaces call for chairs that adapt flexibly to different usage scenarios. This is precisely where the Layout Collection from Hay: the various combinations of seat shells, bases and legs create a versatile range of models for living and working spaces. The characteristic opening in the backrest serves as the collection’s unifying feature, ensuring seating comfort and lending the chairs their distinctive visual lightness.

Graphic elegance meets comfort

With clean lines and a minimalist, relaxed silhouette, Layout embodies Hay’s functional, contemporary and fresh style. The ergonomically shaped seat shells combine comfort with exceptional versatility, as a wide range of materials and base options – including swivel bases – are paired with a broad selection of Colours and different upholstery options. As a versatile all-purpose chair, Layout blends harmoniously into dining areas or the living room and is equally suited to meeting rooms, offices and public spaces.

Julien Renault: Industrial precision and distinctive design

The Layout collection was designed by the French designer Julien Renault, who is known for his approach to deconstructing and reconstructing everyday objects. For Hay, he has translated this approach into a minimalist chair collection that combines industrial precision with remarkable lightness. The result is a versatile piece of seating whose various components not only give rise to a wide range of models, but can also be dismantled, repaired and refurbished to ensure a long service life.
