Together with Bernard, designer Shane Schneck wanted to create a new affordable and modern design classic that will appeal to future generations. Produced by Hay, Bernard explores the genre of the lounge armchair in a contemporary context. The combination of a solid wood frame and a visually-light coating creates a unique relationship between the two components. Bernard is a comfortable and durable chair with a distinct expression. The frame is made of solid oak or beech with different finishes, and the slipcover is available in leather or heavy-duty industrial marine canvas. The result is a chair that can satisfy all types of environments.
Hay was founded in 2002 to promote Danish design. The company Hay reinterprets the classic forms of Nordic design with a modern approach, offering friendly, aesthetic, and functional creations. Hay draws inspiration from three main areas: art, architecture, and fashion, while paying close attention to the environment and contemporary culture. The Hay chairs, like the brand’s entire furniture collection, perfectly embody this spirit: a sleek and timeless design, combining comfort and functionality with modern and minimalist lines. The Palissade outdoor collection is a must-have from the brand HAY, designed by French brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
