The Soft Edge 70 stool from HAY, as its name suggests, features a pleasant, rounded design: the edges of the seat curve down eliminating any sharp edges and corners. When creating the chair, design studio Iskos-Berlin utilized the latest innovations in moulded plywood that allow new three-dimensional forms and reduced consumption of natural resources. The result is Soft Edge, a lightweight stool that is well-suited for domestic and public environments alike.
In 2021, HAY renewed the surface treatments of its wood furniture by replacing paints and lacquers with more environmentally friendly, water-based alternatives. Please note that due to this, natural wood furniture now comes with only one lacquer option instead of the previous two: the new water-based lacquer is glossier than the matte lacquer previously used, but slightly more matte than HAY’s previous clear lacquer.
