A-Collection by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec

Great set of tables, benches and stackable chairs designed to furnish the Faculty of Humanities at University of Copenhagen. Created by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec design studio for Danish furniture manufacturer Hay.

'With this new collection it was our ambition to resume an old scandinavian tradition targeting specific architecture and specific needs in designing new furniture... 

In our proposal for the new range of educational furniture, we have attempted to create furniture which in form and identity has a clear dating in our age and which in a compelling manner uncovers the functional needs of a university in 2012.'
