Putting a modern twist on the honesty of the iconic Shaker movement, the HAY Passerelle desk brings a utilitarian simplicity to your living and work spaces.
Eschewing ornamentation, the Passerelle collection adds a reassuring strength and solidity with its combination of aluminium, steel and wood. The capacious size of the tabletop makes it idea for working from home, while the desk’s lightness makes it versatile and easy to move between your spaces. The off-centre positioning allows for extra chair space and mobility.
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Breton-born brothers, are the stars of European design and the most promising industrial designers to have emerged from France since Philippe Starck in the 1980s.
A combination of romanticism and functionality runs throughout both brothers’ work. Like all truly talented designers, the Bouroullecs have defined a distinctive visual style, which Jasper Morrison (one of the designers they most admire) described as “thoughtful and disciplined, with a real spirit and poetry”.
