Arbour Lounge Chair is designed for HAY by Andreas Engesvik and Daniel Rybakken, built on the principle that design should follow construction — a conviction that the visible logic of how a piece of furniture is assembled should be legible in its final form. The Arbour is assembled from independently produced components optimised individually for comfort, quality, and manufacturing efficiency, and the resulting construction creates a compact, architecturally precise armchair whose seat and back cushions are balanced in carefully considered proportions.

The frame creates a strong yet elegant structural profile that gives the Arbour a clear architectural quality — it reads as a piece that has been thought through from the inside out, with every visible element serving both a structural and a formal role. The uncluttered design language ensures the chair works across a wide range of interior contexts without imposing a strong stylistic signature, and the quality of cushion construction provides genuine lounge comfort appropriate for extended periods of relaxed seated use.

The Arbour is well suited to residential living rooms and private lounge settings where a compact, architecturally considered armchair of genuine design quality is the brief. Its construction-driven formal clarity also makes it an effective specification for hotel rooms, boutique hospitality lounges, and professional environments where furniture of considered design heritage and material quality is expected. Available in a range of HAY fabrics and frame finishes.

HAY produces the Arbour to the material and construction standards consistent across its broader lounge chair collection, supporting sustained comfort and quality in residential and commercial use.

Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
