Win a $500 Shopping Spree to Hay’s New US Online Shop

Late last year our prayers were answered when Hay opened up a US-based online shop, plus two brick-and-mortar locations, with more on the way — meaning we no longer have to look for close-at-hand replacements for Hay's mix-and-match geometric trays, or stackable silicone cutting boards. We can have the real deal, delivered straight to our door. Now, so can you, thanks to a giveaway we're launching today with Hay in which you can enter to win $500 worth of accessories for every room in your home, redeemable online exclusively at HAY.com.

Prediction: You’re Gonna Want Each One of These Abstract, Geometric Danish Rugs

Röd Studio specializes in rugs made with non-traditional materials, experimental forms, and a more conceptual idea of storytelling behind each composition. Their Assemblage collection, which employs materials like horse and goat hair to create a more three-dimensional work, was inspired by the visual identity of Marrakech, while their Face It pieces explore both the humanity and abstraction of masks.

Hay Kitchen Market Frederik Bille Brahe

The New Kitchen Essentials, from Hay and Danish It-Chef Frederik Bille Brahe

The collaboration between Hay and Danish chef Frederik Bille Brahe began, as so many collaborations do, at the furniture fair in Milan a year and a half ago. Charged with outfitting the tables for a Hay pop-up café, Bille Brahe set out with Hay co-founder Mette Hay to scour the Milanese flea markets for flatware, dishes, and serving pieces.

Meet Frama, the Studio That’s Reinventing Danish Design

Copenhagen-based Frama is forging a new direction in contemporary Danish design, giving its clean lines and mid-century shapes a new sense of warmth and sophistication.

Simply stepping into their showroom and studio, which is housed in a centuries-old pharmacy with original woodwork, you can easily see how effortlessly they meld the two together.
