Founded in Copenhagen in 2002, HAY was established with a clear ambition: to create good, democratic design. From the beginning, HAY set out to develop new ways of meeting the ever -evolving needs of modern life – but at a more accessible price point than traditional design companies. Today, HAY develops contemporary furniture, accessories, and lighting together with the world’s leading designers, artists, and makers. Inspired by art, architecture, and contemporary culture, HAY combines these influences with sophisticated industrial manufacturing to make high -quality design more widely attainable. This mission remains at the heart of the brand, as envisioned by Founders and Creative Directors Mette and Rolf Hay.
