The New Hay x Herman Miller Collab Is a Joyful Update to Eight Modern Classics

HAY celebrates colour in this soon-to-launch collaboration.

By Anicka Quin /

Every once in a while, a pairing you didn’t know you needed comes into your life. Movie popcorn topped with M&Ms. Dua Lipa and Elton John. And now? Danish modern brand HAY and iconic furniture brand Herman Miller.

HAY’s playful and colourful sensibility has thoughtfully reimagined eight classic Eames designs, from the Modern Plastic Shell chair to the Hang-It-All. And our first preview of the collection will be thanks to Inform—which will be exclusively carrying the line in Canada—at IDS Vancouver this coming Thursday, September 22 and on through the weekend.  The collection presents a unique vision of colour along with an evolution of conscious materials.

Here’s hoping it’s the start of even more collaborations between the two brands (what I’d give for an Egg chair in one of HAY’s great fabrics!)—but until you get a chance to sit in one of these beauties at IDS this weekend, here’s a sneak peek of a few pieces in the collection.

The HAY update to the Eames Molded Plastic Armchair ($619) features a rich Black Blue shade.
The Herman Miller x HAY Eames Wire Base Low Table ($781) has a powder-pink top with toffee-coloured wire legs.
The Eames Moulded Plywood Lounge chair ($1,484) now comes in bold forest green.
The Herman Miller x HAY Eames Compact Sofa ($8,125) comes in a playful striped fabric.
The updated Hang-It-All ($431)—multi-coloured with a mint-green base—is made to order.
