Petit Dining Chair is designed by Daniel Rybakken for HAY — a compact, precisely proportioned dining chair whose name accurately describes its fundamental formal ambition: a chair that achieves its complete functional and aesthetic purpose with the minimum of material and spatial presence. Rybakken's design practice is characterised by a rigorous investigation of material, light, and formal economy, and the Petit brings this precision and discipline to a dining chair format that is refined and resolved without the formal complexity or material elaboration of more ambitious seating designs.

The Petit's compact scale and careful proportions make it a practical specification for settings where dining chair footprint matters alongside design quality — smaller dining rooms, compact kitchen settings, and restaurant environments where table density is important and the total floor area occupied by chairs must be managed carefully. Despite its modest physical scale, the Petit provides genuine seated comfort and the material and construction quality appropriate to a HAY dining chair produced in collaboration with a designer of Rybakken's calibre and formal precision. Available in a range of material and finish options suited to different interior aesthetic directions.

The Petit Dining Chair is well suited to residential dining rooms and kitchen settings where a compact, well-proportioned dining chair of clean design quality is required. Its small footprint and refined proportions make it an efficient specification for restaurant environments, café settings, and hospitality dining areas where the combination of design quality and spatial efficiency is important, and its formal resolution and Rybakken provenance give it a design authority appropriate to serious interior specification.

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