The Soft Edge series from Iskos-Berlin for Hay features an organically shaped seat and backrest, combining strong curves with extreme lightness to create a minimalist design that optimises comfort and facilitates movement. The Soft Edge P10 bar stool features a polypropylene seat and back available in a wide range of colours, set on slim tubular steel legs that enhance the minimalist aesthetic and create a feeling of lightness. Its build quality and functionality guarantee years of daily use in a variety of public and private environments - from the home to corporate spaces, cafés and institutions.
Founded in 2010, Iskos-Berlin is the result of a long-standing partnership between Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos. The studio's work lies at the crossroads of industrial design, furniture and graphic design. Over the years, their fruitful collaboration has enabled them to develop and share the same design philosophy. "We see design as the art of storytelling. This history is normally relatively complex, made up of semantics, morphology, materiality, the technology that makes up the objects and other elements. But the clearer your story, the more likely people are to understand it. And the more surprising your story, the more likely they are to remember it. And finally, the more you make people smile, the more likely they are to like it," they explain. "We seek to explore with new technologies and materials and understand the impact on everyday objects." The work of the duo Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos, who respectively graduated from the Institute of Applied Art and Design in St Petersburg in 1975 and the Institute of Industrial Design in Denmark in 1996, is exhibited in numerous museums around the world, including the MoMa and the Danish Design Museum. Their many collaborations with Normann Copenhagen, Hay and Muuto are testament to the scale of their success. Their iconic designs include the Fiber, Just Chair and Soft Edge seating ranges.

HAY
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.
