The result of an eight-year journey, Daniel Rybakkens Petit Standard chair for Hay is a study of precision and well-thought-out details. To create a highly stackable chair, where stackable features would actually improve the chair design, Petit Standard combines elegance and functionality in an emblematic design. Using cast aluminium and steel tubes that connect in a three-dimensional triangle, the lightweight frame has a distinctly geometric shape, which is balanced by the warmth and natural quality of the oak veneer seat and back. The Petit Standard's high back and curved seat offer great comfort, while the rigid tubes optimise the strength and stacking capabilities of the chair, making it ideal for business environments, educational institutions and private spaces.
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.
