Palissade is a collection of outdoor furniture designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for the Hay brand. The series consists of a wide range of furniture, in which all the pieces share the same design principle. It includes chairs, small armchairs, lounge chairs, stools, tables and benches. Specially designed for outdoor use, these pieces are visually light but robust in their construction. Inspired by classic furniture, the originality of the collection lies in the details. Although made of steel, this outdoor furniture is comfortable simply because of its design. Each piece is available in olive green, light grey or anthracite and fits very well in a natural or urban environment. With Palissade, the Bouroullec brothers have created a collection of sustainable outdoor furniture that easily combines with all styles: a future design classic!
Born in 1971 and 1976 in Quimper, France, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec pursued their studies at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the École nationale supérieure d’arts in Cergy-Pontoise, respectively. In 1999, the brothers teamed up to establish a design studio in Paris. Their work spans the creation of home accessories and objects (vases, tableware, jewelry…), furniture for the home and office, as well as architectural projects that involve spatial planning and design. Among their standout creations, the "l'Algue" for Vitra, is a modular design that, when assembled, forms an asymmetrical and poetic room divider. Alongside designers like Jasper Morrison and Hella Jongerius, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec play a key role in the growing Vitra Home Collection. In recent years, they have also collaborated with brands like Alessi, KartellandNanimarquina designing pieces such as the Losanges rugs.

HAY
Hay was founded in 2002 to promote Danish design. Rather than sticking closely to the style of the country's former masters of design, Hay reinvents their work in a more contemporary context. The brand revisits the classical forms of Nordic design in a more contemporary context. Hay boasts user-friendly, aesthetic and functional designs. It draws from three main sources of inspiration: art, architecture and fashion. The producer pays particular attention to its environment and is inspired by contemporary culture.
