Based on the original Rey Collection designed by Swiss designer Bruno Rey in 1971, HAY has teamed up with Dietiker to relaunch the Rey Table. Featuring Dietiker’s unique screwless wood-to-metal connection, the iconic table has an uncluttered silhouette with angled legs that balance the distinctively rounded edges. Its simplicity, solid construction and functional design give it a timeless quality that makes it suitable for using in a wide variety of domestic, public, educational or corporate settings. Made with a solid beech frame with laminate or veneer tabletop, the table is available in original colours, as well as new tones selected by HAY.
Bruno Rey was born in 1933 Brugg, Switzerland. After an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker, he studied at the Zurich School of Applied Arts, where he attended classes with the pioneering designer Willy Guhl.
He opened his own studio in 1968, working on an innovative chair design that was mass produced in 1971 by Dietiker in Stein am Rhein. 3300 as the chair was originally called, later became known as Rey, the most successful Swiss chair of all time. HAY has collaborated with Dietiker to present the Rey Collection by Bruno Rey, comprising the Rey Chair, Rey Stool and Bar Stool, and Rey Table and Coffee Table.
