Collection Story
Origin
Pastis is a family that Julien Renault, a French designer, designed for HAY. HAY's family list for Pastis has four entries: the Pastis Chair, the Pastis Armchair, the Pastis Seat Pad and the Pastis Table.
Design Language
The pages say that the designs rest on authenticity, strength and high-quality craftsmanship, and that the aim was a timeless design which lasts for decades. HAY sets a sturdy construction against elegant looks and calls Pastis versatile and full of personality, made for enjoying life, dining and socialising, and for bringing warmth and vitality to a room. The chair page lists lacquered wood types and colours, and HAY says that the durability suits many indoor spaces, from dining rooms and kitchens in private homes to cafés and other public environments.
