Why join us?
HAY is where everyday designs are reimagined. Wherever we look, we discover design – and every piece we create is an answer to a question. Collaboration is at the heart of HAY. Drawing inspiration from art, architecture, and fashion, we work with the best international designers to experiment with new materials, new technologies, and new ideas. Our goal is to create affordable, long-lasting products that are highly considered, quietly forward-thinking, and relevant to real life.
Our purpose is to design for the good of humankind. It’s the ideal we strive toward each day in everything we do. Being a part of HAY means being a part of something larger than your work team, or even your brand. We are redefining modern for the 21st century. And our success allows HAY to support causes that align with our values, so we can build a more sustainable, equitable, and beautiful future for everyone.
