The Story
Layout 212 dining armchair with pastel green polypropylene shell & lacquered oak veneer seat, black steel legs and standard gliders.
The Layout is such a versatile chair, happy to stand it's own ground in a hall or entrance lobby but equally at home nestled around a dining table. The armrests give an avian appearance of lightness and joy.
- Size: H79 x W61.5 x L55
- Polypropylene shell and lacquered oak veneer seat
- Black powder coated steel legs
Designed by Julien Renault, Layout Armchair 212 offers a flexible and innovative design shaped by a commitment to comfort, functionality, and circularity. Characterised by the opening in the backrest, this defining feature provides greater comfort while giving its appearance a sense of lightness and transparency. Featuring slim tubular legs that combine stability with an elegant aesthetic, all chair components can be fully disassembled to extend its lifespan and enable refurbishment for long-term use. The shell and seat are crafted from a minimum of 96% post-consumer recycled plastic and offered in a wide range of colours, with the frame available with a chrome or powder coated finish, making Layout a versatile and durable seating solution ideal for offices, restaurants, public institutions, and domestic settings.
The Home met Julien in Denmark at the launch where he told us that he was particularly pleased with the underside of the chair. Simple yet strong, elegant yet functional. We think the top is pretty good too!
Meet the designer:
French designer Julien Renault grew up near Paris before studying industrial design in ESAD Design & Art School in Reims, France, and ECAL in Switzerland. These two different educations have helped to form his approach to his work – a combination of objective and rational methods with artistic and personal freedom. Currently based from his studio in Brussels, Julien’s ability to find inspiration everywhere means he is not afraid to beautify the ordinary. Convinced that all objects have a subconscious effect on our daily lives, Julien manifests the interconnection between objects and their surroundings in his designs, which he creates for a number of international brands. For HAY, Julien has designed the Pastis Collection, the Layout Collection, the Compass Lamps, and the Deville Collection.
