Learn more about this product

Based on the original Rey collection designed by Swiss designer Bruno Rey in 1971, HAY has teamed up with Dietiker to relaunch the Rey chair. With its distinctive rounded edges and curved back, it was the first chair to be patented with Dietiker's unique screwless wood-to-metal connection and became one of the most popular Swiss chairs of all time.

Its solid construction, strength and stackable design give it a timeless quality that allows it to be used in a wide variety of domestic, public or business settings. The iconic chair has been modified in new dimensions and material combinations to meet the demands of contemporary lifestyle. Made from solid wood, it is available in the original colors, as well as new tones and upholstered seating options selected by HAY.
The Rey chair is available with two types of legs, the Classics Feet, designed for all types of floors, and the Parquet Feet, which are designed to blend in as well as possible with your parquet floor, without scratching it of course!

Learn more about this designer

Bruno Rey was born in 1933 in Brugg, Switzerland. After an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker, he studied at the Zurich School of Applied Arts, where he took lessons from the pioneering designer Willy Guhl. He opened his own studio in 1968, working on an innovative chair design that was mass-produced in 1971 by Dietiker in Stein am Rhein. The 3300 chair, as it was originally called, later became Rey, the most popular Swiss chair of all time. HAY collaborated with Dietiker to present the Rey collection by Bruno Rey, including the Rey chair, Rey stool and bar stool, as well as the Rey table and coffee table.
