Palissade Chair is the core outdoor dining seat in Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec's Palissade collection for HAY — a standard-height dining chair built entirely from powder-coated hot-rolled steel that embodies the collection's fundamental design proposition. The Bouroullec brothers designed the Palissade to meet a brief that conventional outdoor furniture rarely achieves with genuine design ambition: a complete outdoor furniture system that combines weather resistance, structural durability, and formal design quality at a level appropriate to serious architectural and hospitality specification.
The chair's flat steel planes and angular welded construction create a visual vocabulary of precise industrial clarity in which every structural element is visible and purposeful. The formal character of the chair comes directly from the material and the forming process rather than from decoration or applied finish, and this formal honesty connects the Palissade Chair clearly to the broader system of which it is the foundational seating piece. Hot-rolled steel powder-coated in HAY's outdoor palette provides long-term weather resistance without requiring seasonal storage or ongoing specialist maintenance, and the Palissade Chair has been adopted widely in demanding public and hospitality outdoor settings.
The Palissade Chair is well suited to residential garden and terrace dining settings, outdoor café and restaurant environments, public plazas and park installations, and any exterior setting where a weather-resistant outdoor dining chair of genuine architectural design authority is required. Available in HAY's range of Palissade powder-coated colours and as part of the complete Palissade outdoor furniture system, which spans dining, lounge, and public seating formats for a coherent and complete outdoor furniture arrangement.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
