was founded in 2002 and the furniture collection was launched at imm cologne in 2003. HAY’s ambition is to encourage danish furniture design’s return to the innovative greatness of the 1950’s and 1960’s in a contemporary context. today, ten years later that ambition has not changed! It is still a great inspiration and keeps us inspired and motivated every day in creating meaningful and sincere design.
