Layout chair collection: lightness, comfort and sustainability in one
Layout – a collection designed for today’s world
The Danish brand HAY has long been creating designs that blend aesthetics and functionality with an emphasis on contemporary needs. One of their latest responses to the dynamic world of interior design is the Layout collection—a line of chairs that combine iconic shapes with a modern approach to materials and sustainability.
Inspired by classic shapes
The Layout collection visually references the “golden age” of mid-20th-century modernist plastic shell chairs. Yet it is not merely a retro throwback—it brings its own character and versatility, making it equally at home in private residences and public spaces.
A design that adapts
A defining feature of the entire collection is the open back shell made of recycled plastic. It provides natural flexibility and comfortable back support, while the lightness of the form creates an airy feel and does not restrict the space.
„Kolekce Layout odkazuje na zlatou éru skořepinových židlí, kdy se elegance spojila s inovací a univerzálností. Zároveň ale musela najít svůj vlastní charakter – nový, flexibilní a schopný fungovat v různých prostředích,“ říká Julien Renault.
Sustainability and durability
Each piece is made from at least 96% post-consumer recycled plastic and designed to last. Individual components can be easily disassembled, repaired, or replaced, which extends the chair’s lifespan and supports a circular approach to design. Upholstered versions also feature removable covers that can be easily replaced or cleaned.
Space for your creativity
The Layout collection is available in a wide range of colors and fabrics, allowing you to create a custom solution—from subtle neutral tones to bold color accents.
