Hay Palissade Cantilever Chair

Designed by Ronan Bouroullec, it retains the distinctive geometric language of the Palissade collection while removing the armrests to create a cleaner, more open profile.

This pared-back approach gives the chair a light visual presence, making it an elegant choice for outdoor spaces where simplicity and considered design take centre stage. The defining feature is its cantilevered steel frame, which creates the impression of a floating seat while introducing a subtle, spring-like response when in use. This gentle movement adds another dimension to the seating experience, balancing the strength of the metal construction with a sense of flexibility. The linear structure and slatted seat and backrest bring texture and rhythm without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Designed to work beautifully alongside outdoor dining tables, the Palissade Cantilever Chair is equally at home on a garden terrace, a balcony or in a contemporary café setting. Its armless design allows it to sit neatly around a table and combine naturally with other pieces from the wider Palissade range. Choose from considered steel finishes to complement your exterior scheme, from understated neutrals to more distinctive tones.

Made for everyday outdoor living, the chair pairs durable construction with the enduring appeal of Scandinavian design. Whether used to create a coordinated dining arrangement or introduced as a standalone accent, the HAY Palissade Cantilever Chair brings architectural clarity, understated character and a more dynamic feel to outdoor seating.
