The Hay Weekday Bench was inspired by the designers impromptu solution to a lack of seating at a dinner party. Retaining the original idea of bringing people together and the concept of Knock-down construction that only requires screw assembly the Weekday Bench combines a solid and familiar appearance with softly rounded joints.
Featuring the same simple construction as the classic picnic bench, it is made in strong, durable pine planks that will patinate beautifully and last for many years to come. The Weekday Bench’s is finished in a water-based, weather-resistant surface treatment which makes it suitable for outside use. Seat cushions for extra comfort can also be purchased.
Material: Solid pinewood with special outdoor surface treatment, a primer and two-layer coating.
Dimensions: Width - 111, 140 or 190cm x Depth - 23cm x Height - 45cm
Hannes & Fritz is a design collaboration between German-Swiss design duo Johannes Breuer and Fritz Gräber. They met at ECAL in Lausanne, Switzerland. and what started as a friendship developed into a spontaneous design collaboration with the construction of a bench at a dinner party. The result was a very successful partnership and since then they have created designs for a number of international furniture companies, often starting their projects by exploring existing archetypal forms, before defining them in a more contemporary context. For HAY their most successful design is the Weekday Collection which includes the Weekday Table and Weekday Bench.
