Yay for HAY



HAY is a Danish furniture and accessories company that both designs and manufactures a range of  functional and stylish goods. Whilst HAY products have an undoubtedly contemporary look and feel there is a strong nod to the Danish style of the 50’s and 60’s and this is can be most strongly felt in their range of furniture. As a fan of Verner Panton, Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner Danish greats who have all designed chairs that I shamelessly long to add to my collection, I have a lot of respect and admiration for HAY’s ambition to encourage a revival in Danish furniture design.

Furniture aside, I particularly like their stationery items and their eye-catching rulers have a special place on my wish list. Bold, playful and covetable for the stationery aficionado, HAY’s printed beech wood rulers are a welcome departure from the shatterproof wobbly things I used to take to school. With so much to offer and with such a strong commitment to design and create products that are simple, useful and modern I am finding more and more to like about HAY. - Yasumi.

  1. The rulers are awesome! I have to carry one with me to school because in my econ classes we draw tons of graphs, but mine is plain and boring.

    The stationary caught my eye as I'm a serious enthusiast when it comes to craft materials and tools! I love the modern design of these shots, the coloured backgrounds remind me of the photography you have taken in the past with your uni designs.

    I move to Manchester in april 2014, I still need to sort out accommodation but hopefully sorting that by next Saturday. I'm really nervous to be honest, mainly as I'm using my life savings on a course that may or may not help me, surely it'll get me one step further than I am now though, fingers crossed ay
