Type Chair is designed by Jonas Trampedach for HAY — a dining and multifunctional chair that takes its name from a design approach rooted in typological thinking: the development of a chair form that is considered, formally honest, and generically useful enough to serve well across a broad range of interior settings without being stylistically specific, formally complicated, or dependent on a particular design moment for its relevance. Trampedach's design for the Type Chair pursues a formal resolution that feels both contemporary and genuinely enduring — a chair that does not rely on trend or novelty for its identity.

The Type Chair's construction brings together practical seating performance with a clean formal character suited to dining room, kitchen, and multifunctional interior settings. Its proportions are resolved for comfortable everyday seated use, and its design deliberately avoids the formal elaboration that dates chairs to specific design periods or stylistic contexts, giving it a versatility across different interior directions and settings that more stylistically specific designs cannot match. Trampedach's typologically rooted design philosophy and formal intelligence make the Type Chair an appropriate specification for interiors where enduring quality and formal resolution are prioritised over stylistic novelty. Available in HAY's material and finish range for specification across different interior directions.

The Type Chair is well suited to residential dining rooms, kitchens, and multifunctional living settings where a dining chair of clean, considered design quality and broad interior applicability is required. Its formal resolution and Trampedach design intelligence make it an appropriate specification for interiors where durability of design relevance matters alongside everyday seated comfort, and its versatility across different settings within the same home or project is a meaningful practical consideration alongside its design quality.

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