The "Slit" side table designed by Hay is a work of art in itself, drawing inspiration from traditional origami techniques. This wooden table features a simple yet sculptural shape, with contemporary, graphic geometric lines that play with the perception of volume and create a playful visual effect. Available in various shapes, sizes, materials, and colors, the Slit table offers exceptional flexibility, and can be used alone or in groups in a variety of private or public settings.
The "Slit" table in black is crafted from 10 mm plywood with oak veneer and a water-based lacquer finish, ensuring durability and environmental responsibility. Its dimensions and weight make it both a practical and aesthetic object, suitable for a variety of spaces. The plastic gliders under the base ensure stability and protect floors.
The design
HAY does not attribute the Slit series to any specific designer: the brand signs it with its own name. The design lies in the structure itself: a thin frame that appears to be folded under the tabletop, much like paper folding.
The Slit series is not attributed to any external designer: HAY does not name any author on its Slit page, and the series does not appear on any of its designers' portfolios. The company works with independent designers on a large part of its catalog and signs the rest with its own name, generally for pieces where function dictates form. This is the case here: a tabletop and a thin frame that appears to be folded underneath, inspired by paper-folding techniques.
