The Soft Edge chair from HAY, as its name suggests, features a pleasant, rounded design: the edges of the backrest and seat curve back eliminating sharp edges and corners. Iskos-Berlin has utilized the latest innovations in moulded plywood that allow new three-dimensional forms and reduced consumption of natural resources. The lightweight and stackable Soft Edge chair is well suited for homes and public spaces alike.
In 2021, Hay renewed the surface treatments of its wood furniture by replacing the paints and lacquers with water-based alternatives. At the same time, the name of the Soft Edge 12 chair was changed to the Soft Edge 60 chair. Please note that hue is slightly different in the new and old version. The new water-based lacquer is glossier than the matte lacquer previously used, but slightly more matte than HAY’s previous clear lacquer.
