When it comes to outdoor furniture, you'd be hard-pushed to find designs that have been copied as many times as HAY's green Palissade collection. Designed by French design duo Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, it broke the mold when it first launched back in 2016. Now, after 10 years in production, it has gained cult status among architects, interior experts, and garden designers alike.
In the Bouroullec brothers' own words, the pieces are "strong without being bulky; elegant without being fragile." The pair drew inspiration from the hardwearing metal furniture found in the parks and pavement cafes of Paris for the powder-coated steel collection, where a distinctive geometric silhouette allows wind and rain to pass through its slatted surfaces, while it's weighty enough tocored stay put whatever the weather throws at it.
