What’s new: HAY’s Palissade Cord

HAY’s Palissade is an outdoor furniture collection everyone knows! This spring, the beloved series gets a fresh, even more summery update as its sturdy steel frame is paired with beautifully lightweight recycled polyester. Discover the new Palissade Cord collection and bring effortless style to your outdoor space!

RONAN AND ERWAN Bouroullec’s Palissade collection for HAY is the kind of outdoor furniture that feels right at home just about anywhere – whether on a balcony, terrace, garden, or public space. With its bold, graphic lines and timeless design, it’s no wonder the brothers spent two years perfecting every detail. Safe to say, Palissade has more than earned its place in the sun.

But even the best-loved designs deserve a little refresh now and then. This spring, Palissade seating gets a new twist, as its sturdy steel frame meets lightweight, durable recycled polyester. The result? The same iconic design, now with a softer, more laid-back feel that is perfect for those long, lazy summer days.

The stylish seats feature the same familiar curved steel frame which is now paired with a recycled polyester cord. The new material adds a breezy, summery lightness to the otherwise sturdy benches and chairs – without compromising durability one bit! In fact, Palissade Cord benches are just as solid and comfortable as the original Palissade seats, only with an extra touch of laid-back charm.

Every version of Palissade is designed to stand the test of time both in style and durability. From heavy rain to scorching sun, these outdoor pieces hold their own through every season while blending effortlessly into different settings. Whether it's a cozy home garden, a summer cottage or even the park of a grand palace, Palissade makes it easy to create a seamless and inviting outdoor space everywhere!
