Layout Armchair 232

 

Designed by Julien Renault, Layout Armchair 232 offers a flexible and innovative design shaped by a commitment to comfort, functionality, and circularity. Characterised by the opening in the backrest, this defining feature provides greater comfort while giving its appearance a sense of lightness and transparency. A plywood seat brings natural warmth, while a sleek swivel four-star base provides stability and ease of movement, with all components designed for disassembly to extend the lifespan and enable refurbishment for long-term use. The shell is crafted from a minimum of 96% post-consumer recycled plastic and offered in a wide range of colours, with the seat offered in several finishes, and the aluminium base available in polished or powder-coated options, making Layout a versatile and durable seating solution ideal for most corporate settings and domestic environments.

Layout Armchair 232 / Designer

French designer Julien Renault grew up near Paris before studying industrial design in ESAD Design & Art School in Reims, France, and ECAL in Switzerland. These two different educations have helped to form his approach to his work – a combination of objective and rational methods with artistic and personal freedom. Currently based from his studio in Brussels, Julien’s ability to find inspiration everywhere means he is not afraid to beautify the ordinary. Convinced that all objects have a subconscious effect on our daily lives, Julien manifests the interconnection between objects and their surroundings in his designs, which he creates for a number of international brands. For HAY, Julien has produced the Pastis Collection and the Layout Armchair Collection.
