HAY Crate Lounge Sofa
Description
Initially designed to make use of surplus wooden shipping crates by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld in 1934, the Crate Collection has been relaunched in a Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration. Made with respect for the original design, the Crate Lounge Sofa shares the same precisely balanced proportions and transparent construction to minimise production costs and optimise the assembly process. The sofa features low proportions with a gently sloping back and seat with supportive armrests, its simplicity and spatial design mirroring the designer’s architectural principles – providing functionality and comfort without absorbing space. Crafted in solid pine, with a water-based lacquered finish in different colour options, the Crate Lounge Sofa is suitable for a wealth of outdoor settings, and can be supplemented with optional seat cushions in selected textiles for extra comfort.
