HAY’s Can collection was born when Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec set their mind to reinvigorating the concept of the sofa. They wanted to create a piece of furniture that is practical, elegant and comfortable but also relaxed and simple – a sofa for everyone. The Can sofas and armchairs come flat-packed and are assembled at home, which makes transportation and handling easier. The name Can reassures anyone having doubts if they can assemble the furniture: just attach the slender metal legs to the frame, set the canvas in its place and finish off by adding the inviting, plush cushions – you can!
In 2022, HAY updated the cushioning materials, replacing the previously used down fill with recycled polyester fiber.
