Relaunched by HAY for the 21st-century market, Haugesen’s 1977 minimalist, logical design remains just as relevant today. Its thin steel wire construction and signature X-base result in a robust, sturdy structure built to last both outdoors and indoors, yet the piece maintains a light, airy aesthetic.
Stackable up to 10 chairs and available in a range of vibrant colourways to suit various settings, the X-Line Chair is a versatile seating solution for guests in private and corporate contexts, which can be easily stored away when space is at a premium.
Niels Jørgen Haugesen was a leading Danish designer who embarked on his professional career under the tutelage of Arne Jacobsen, one of the most visionary architects and designers of the time.
Motivated by honesty and humility, Niels Jørgen Haugesen’s focus was more on utility than aesthetic or ornamentation, leading to minimalistic designs, clean forms and structural clarity. Haugesen designed the iconic X-Line Chair in 1977, relaunched by HAY in 2025.
