HAY is a Danish design brand founded in Copenhagen in 2002, creating contemporary furniture, interior accessories, and lighting. The core ambition of HAY is to make good, well-designed products accessible to a wider audience – without compromising on quality, functionality, or aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from art, architecture, and contemporary culture, HAY develops its collections in close collaboration with internationally recognised designers.
By combining creative ideas with advanced industrial manufacturing, HAY delivers design solutions tailored to modern living – whether for private homes, offices, or public spaces. HAY furniture and lighting are valued for their durability, versatility, and clear, timeless aesthetic that adapts effortlessly to different interior styles and environments.
The brand was founded and is creatively led by Mette and Rolf Hay, who have shaped HAY’s vision since its beginnings in Copenhagen. Their shared goal has always been to make design a natural part of everyday life – functional, visually refined, and built to last. Rolf Hay oversees HAY’s furniture and lighting collections, while Mette Hay leads the accessories line. Together with leading designers, they continue to create products that remain relevant over time. Mette and Rolf Hay are recognised on the global design stage as visionaries within the design industry.
HAY collections are defined by a balance of quality, originality, and timeless design. Each product is thoughtfully developed to ensure long-lasting use, everyday comfort, and seamless integration into contemporary living.
