The Layout Armchair by HAY is more than a seat—it’s a statement of purpose. Conceived by designer Julien Renault, the chair merges timeless aesthetics with modern sustainability.
Its open-back shell creates a sense of lightness while offering ergonomic comfort, crafted from at least 96% post-consumer recycled plastic. For upholstered versions, a removable fabric cover is neatly integrated, eliminating glued foam and making it easy to replace or refresh—supporting a truly circular design approach.
This is design that responds to the world we live in: dynamic, intentional, and conscious.

A System, Not Just a Chair
Layout is built for adaptability. Every component can be disassembled, repaired, and renewed, ensuring longevity and reducing waste. Upholstered versions feature removable covers, making updates simple and sustainable. With interchangeable shells, bases, and fabrics, Layout transforms effortlessly.

The Designer’s Perspective
Julien Renault approaches design as a balance of rationality and artistic freedom. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyday objects influence how we live and feel. For HAY, Renault has created pieces that elevate the ordinary, and Layout is no exception—a collection that combines elegance, flexibility, and responsibility.
