Hang-It-All, which sports cast-glass
balls in place of the original painted
wood, representing a new play on colour,
tactility, and utility. The Eames Wire Base
Low Table and Universal Base Round
Table, now with cast-glass tops, bring
artistic craft and dimension to any space.
As part of MillerKnoll’s commitment to
reducing its environmental impact, the
Molded Plastic Shell Chairs, both with
and without arms, contain 100% post-
industrial recycled plastic available in the
HAY-designed six-colour palette; and the
Eames Wire Chairs are powder-coated
for outdoor use with optional cushions
upholstered in tone-on-tone outdoor
fabric. Hay’s reimagining of the iconic
Eames Molded Plywood Chair, now in an
emerald green colourway ubiquitous to
HAY’s additional best-selling collections,
is a personal favorite product of Mette and

prototypes currently resides in the Hays’
own living room in Denmark.
The collection is available in North
America, South America, Asia, Australia,
and Africa starting September 21, 2022.

colours. The collection includes seven
spirited colourways meant for endless
interplay and combination, including
colours like Toffee, Iron Red, and Powder
Yellow. Complementing the main colour
palette is a special edition of the Eames
Sofa Compact upholstered in a circa-1955
colourway of Girard’s Jacob’s Coat textile,
which Maharam has faithfully reissued
for the collaboration at Mette’s request.
The collection’s innovative material
palette was expanded elsewhere in the
