Balcony Lounge Bench With Backrest – / With Armrests – L 121.5cm – Hay

Since the early 2000s, the work of brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec has emerged as one of the most representative of the dynamism of French design. They’ve created, specially for Hay, an elegant outdoor furnishings collection using steel. The comprehensive Balcony collection includes multiple items that let you compose a dining or relaxation area in your garden or on your terrace, as well as in public places. Oozing aesthetic harmony, the Balcony collection is characterised by a strong graphic signature: symmetrical holes strewn across the surface of seating and tables. Offering a lightweight visual, these multiple holes emphasise the volumes and voids, asserting the collection’s graphic identity. They also create a play of light, projecting shadows onto surrounding surfaces. The particularly square lines of the furniture are softened by the rounded edges and multiple holes. These holes also play a practical role: they make the structure physically lighter, meaning the furniture is easier to handle and allowing water to run off it. Each piece in the Balcony collection is made using powder-coated steel, with a double anti-corrosion treatment providing high resistance against bad weather.
