Denmark’s coolest design brand has come to America—and we might not be ready.
If you aren’t already familiar with why modernists love Danish design, Hay might bring you over to the Scandinavian side.
According to Curbed, Hay “was founded in 2002 by Mette and Rolf Hay, a married couple, and businessman Troels Holch Povlsen. The brand sought to introduce attainable and stylish products for midrange shoppers to the design market.”

“It’s not about turning a toothbrush into an art object to display in your living room,” Mette Hay told the Wall Street Journal in 2016 about the brand’s sensibility, “but about making quiet, ordinary moments a bit nicer—that’s the backbone of what we do.”
If making ordinary items a bit nicer is their mission, Hay certainly succeeds. Here are just a few of the sleek, colorful, mod items we’re hoping to grab from the brand. The only question remaining? Can we wait to visit one of their brick and mortars in Portland, Oregon or Costa Mesa, California, or do we just order online?
