Designed for HAY by Erwan Bouroullec, the Traverse Chair and Armchair are part of an outdoor furniture collection designed to naturally blend in wherever it is placed. Comprising a die-cast aluminium frame with slatted seat in heat-treated ash, the chairs combine a robust construction with an inviting expression that naturally patinates to make them more beautiful over time. With their well-balanced aesthetics and ergonomic design, the Traverse Chair and Armchair can be used together with Traverse Tables to create dining and social set-ups in a wide range of private and public spaces.

Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec were born in Quimper, France respectively in 1971 and 1976. As soon as Ronan graduated from the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, he began working alone, progressively assisted by Erwan, still a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Cergy Pontoise. Their collaboration is a constant dialogue, nourished by their single identities and strived towards a common goal. They met Giulio Cappellini in 1997, while showing the Disintegrated Kitchen at the Salon du Meuble in Paris. This was the starting point of a regular cooperation that gave birth to various projects.
