PALISSADE

Design by /

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Created for outdoor use, this balanced collection

comprises 13 different furniture typologies that all share

the same principle geometry. The collection has been

developed over the course of two years by Ronan &

Erwan Bouroullec for HAY. It grew from a period of

research at their studio into outdoor furniture

typologies. The Palissade collection is visually light yet

reassuringly strong; it is classical in form and simple in

construction. Each individual piece has been carefully

engineered to hold the body in perfect balance.

There are almost imperceptible, but significant changes

to the angles, curves and the juxtaposition between the

frame and slats in each different typology. The design

itself provides comfort and elegance, while the colour

palette of light grey, anthracite and olive allow the

pieces to be at home in both natural landscapes and

urban settings. The Palissade collection is significant in

that it has been designed to improve over time; it is

full of precision yet celebrates ageing.
