The Danish company HAY has been at the forefront of offering consumers irresistible, everyday designs at affordable prices. Started in 2002, the brand was born from the desire to make great design accessible to everyone. The brand has become an important part of modern design.

Written by Rolf and Mette Hay, the founders of the brand, the book is edited by Kelsey Keith, the editorial director at Herman Miller. It features a foreword by John Hoke III, the Chief Design Officer at Nike. The book also features contributions from Lucy Bourton, Duncan Riches, Emily Nathan and Tom Morris. The book explores the brand’s origins and its rise to the forefront of the design world. The book examines its close partnership with Herman Miller and its collaborations with an ever-growing list of brilliant designers and design companies such as COS, IKEA, and SONOS.

Published to coincide with HAY’s 20th anniversary, the book features exclusive interviews with five pairs of designers: Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec; Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien; Shane Schneck and Clara von Zweigbergk; Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen; and Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi.
