A bench for the Traverse table

Erwan Bouroullec designed the Traverse Dining Bench for HAY as part of an outdoor collection that blends in wherever it is placed. It can be used with Traverse Tables to create atmospheric dining set-ups.

Ash that changes colour

The bench joins a die-cast aluminium frame to a seat of heat-treated ash. Over time UV radiation changes the colour of the wood surface, turning it silvery grey across a period of months to years.
