Hay Pyramid Bench
PYRAMID BENCH
PYRAMID BENCH
Designed by Wim Rietveld
Originally designed by Wim Rietveld while working at Ahrend in the 1950s, the Pyramid Bench has been relaunched by HAY together with Ahrend.
Functional, adaptable and strong, it’s the last word in cutout sheet-steel construction, notable for its sparing use of materials and simplistic design – and for being light enough to move around. Assembly required.
DESIGNER
WIM RIETVELD
Known for his rationalist approach to functional chairs, tables, and storage systems, designer Wim Rietveld is the equally talented offspring of Dutch trailblazer Gerrit Rietveld.
His oeuvre of iconic works include the award-winning 1407 Chair (1953/54), the Result Chair (1958), and the Pyramid Tables and Chairs (1960), as well as the industrial feats of agric+-ultural machinery, boats, and trains.
Dutch-born Wim Rietveld studied Industrial Design at The Hague Academy in 1950, before becoming head of design at Gispen. In 1958, he started working at De Cirkel, a manufacturer of steel furniture that had merged with the Ahrend group in 1939.
Here he met Friso Kramer, and together they developed a number of iconic design collaborations, including the Result Chair in 1958. Rietveld also designed the Pyramid Tables and Chairs for Ahrend in 1960.
Rietveld is known for his functionalist chairs, tables, and storage systems, but he also designed agricultural machinery, boats, and trains, and was a frequent speaker at the Royal Academy and the Technical University in Delft. Together with Ahrend, HAY has reproduced the Result Chair and Pyramid Table series.
