PALISSADE
Design by /
Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
Created for outdoor use, this balanced collection
comprises 13 different furniture typologies that all share
the same principle geometry. The collection has been
developed over the course of two years by Ronan &
Erwan Bouroullec for HAY. It grew from a period of
research at their studio into outdoor furniture
typologies. The Palissade collection is visually light yet
reassuringly strong; it is classical in form and simple in
construction. Each individual piece has been carefully
engineered to hold the body in perfect balance.
There are almost imperceptible, but significant changes
to the angles, curves and the juxtaposition between the
frame and slats in each different typology. The design
itself provides comfort and elegance, while the colour
palette of light grey, anthracite and olive allow the
pieces to be at home in both natural landscapes and
urban settings. The Palissade collection is significant in
that it has been designed to improve over time; it is
full of precision yet celebrates ageing.
