Layout Armchair 233 Armchair Hay

Movable & inviting: Layout Armchair 233 from HAY

The Layout Armchair 233, designed by Julien Renault, combines comfort, functionality and circularity. The characteristic opening in the backrest provides pleasant support and gives the chair a light, transparent appearance. The upholstered seat creates a warm, inviting look, while the elegant four-star swivel base offers stability and freedom of movement.

All components are designed for complete disassembly to extend the chair's life and allow for future refurbishment. The shell is made from at least 96 % recycled post-consumer plastic and is available in a wide range of colours. The aluminium frame is available polished or powder-coated; the upholstered seat can be finished in a choice of fabrics or olive leaf tanned leather - ideal for modern offices, conference areas, public spaces and private homes.
