Hay Layout Armchair 221

With its gently sculpted seat, distinctive open-back detail and elegant four-legged base, this modern designer armchair offers a fresh interpretation of the classic wooden dining chair.

A defining feature of the design is the contrast between its softly contoured polypropylene shell and solid oak legs. The gently curved backrest creates an inviting seating profile, while the opening in the shell introduces an architectural detail that gives the chair its own distinctive character. Manufactured using at least 96% post-consumer recycled plastic, the shell is available in a carefully selected palette of colours, including understated neutrals and more expressive tones. The four-legged construction is available in lacquered or black lacquered solid oak, providing a natural warmth or a more graphic finish depending on the chosen combination.

This interplay of materials and colour makes the Layout 221 particularly adaptable, whether placed around a dining table, used in a kitchen setting or incorporated into a creative workspace. Beyond its visual appeal, the chair has been developed with long-term use in mind. Its individual components can be separated for maintenance, refurbishment and recycling, offering a practical approach to extending the life of everyday furniture.

Designed to complement a wide range of interiors, the HAY Layout Armchair 221 is an appealing choice for those seeking a contemporary wooden dining chair with a distinctive personality.
