The HAY Layout Chair 142, designed by Julien Renault, brings together comfort, flexibility and a considered approach to circular design. Defined by the opening in the backrest, the chair offers responsive support while maintaining a light, open appearance that suits both professional and domestic environments.

This version features a plywood seat that adds warmth and contrast to the recycled plastic shell, paired with an aluminium five-legged swivel base on castors. The integrated gas lift allows the seat height to be adjusted between 44cm and 53cm, making it easy to adapt the chair to different desks and working positions. All components are designed to be fully disassembled, supporting refurbishment and long-term use.

The shell is made from a minimum of 96% post-consumer recycled plastic and is available in a wide range of colours, while the plywood seat comes in several finish options. With its balance of mobility, comfort and durability, the Layout Chair 142 is well suited to offices, shared workspaces and modern home interiors.
