Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2022, HAY is due to introduce an abundance of exciting new product launches in the upcoming fall, ranging from colorful storage furniture to sculptural lighting. Design Stories got to know the new arrivals in advance – see our picks and find your favorite!
1. Pastis chair
Designed by Julien Renault, the Pastis collection is “strong, iconic, with romantic curves” in the designer’s own words. Renault has drawn inspiration for the collection’s chairs and tables from Shaker furniture as well as steam-bent Thonet-Mundus chairs. The collection’s name, in turn, stems from the French anise-flavored spirit often served as an aperitif.
“Pastis is about pétanque and aperitif in summer: I will always associate it with the sentiment of those summer days in Southern France, hanging out with friends and sipping pastis,” Renault has said.

2. Parade lamp
One of the Design Stories team’s absolute favorites is the gorgeous glass lamp called Parade. Combining rigid geometry with gentle curves, the lamp is like a little glass sculpture sure to attract attention whether on or off. The lamp is released in three colors and three sizes, making it perfect for creating custom clusters on a windowsill or sideboard. The lamp was designed by designer couple Viola Heyn-Johnson and Jonas Trampedach.

3. Colour Cabinet
The collaboration between Muller Van Severen and HAY that began in 2021 is expanding with some delicious storage furniture arrivals in bold statement hues typical of the Belgian designer duo. Consisting of cabinets, sideboards, and shelves, the Colour Cabinet line plays with minimalist geometry and contrasting colors and materials. Designers Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen have revealed being inspired by Bauhaus, art deco as well as the works of American artist Donald Judd when creating the furniture.

5. LBM table lamp
The LBM table lamp by Mexican designer Moisés Hernández is a tribute to his compatriot, Mexican architect Luis Barragán Morfín (1902–1988), acclaimed for his skillful and innovative combination of colors, geometry, and light in his work. Inspired by Barragán Morfín, LBM’s light source is placed in the fold of the lamp’s metal sheet so that the light is directed downwards, emphasizing the color of the metal and creating an ambient mood in the space.
HAY’s new launches will arrive at Finnish Design Shop in fall 2022 – the first batch of newbies will be here in August.
