Story
A desk within the Pyramid family
Pyramid 01 gives the collection a rectangular work surface. HAY presents the design as functional, light and strong, and offers this model at one length with two depths.
Official dating differs
The product description places the original work in the 1950s, while HAY's designer text dates the Pyramid tables and chairs to 1960. The record therefore leaves the product year unresolved rather than choosing one statement.
