During the last edition of the London Design Festival, the Danish furniture and homewares company Hay launched a new collection conceived by Sebastian Wrong. It’s called Wrong for Hay and consists of a line of products selected and produced by Wrong – one the founders of Established and Sons and until very recently the company’s design director.

‘Lens Boxes’ designed by Thomas Jenkins. ‘Hook’ designed by Line Depping. ‘Tela Glassware’, glasses designed by Silo Studio.

Wrong for Hay includes a series of designs by Sebastian Wrong himself as well as from other designers, many of them based in London – the city where Wrong lives and where the collection was born. Amongst the pieces there are ceramic ware by Ian McIntyre, textiles by the fashion designers Bernhard Willhelm and Nathalie Du Pasquier (one of the founding members of the Memphis Group) a lamp signed by Stefan Diez and glassware by the English-Spanish duo Silo Studio.

Salt and pepper grinders designed by Anderssen & Voll.

The debut collection was presented in an old Georgian house near St James Park where the colourful pieces stood out against the sombre, neoclassical decor.

‘Curve Chair’, designed by Sebastian Wrong using fabrIc by Nathalie Du Pasquier. ‘Smiley Quilt’ designed by Bernhard Willhelm. Cushion with a fabric designed by Nathalie Du Pasquier.

This year Hay turns ten years old. The company was fist introduced in Cologne in 2003 and has repidly grown, particularly in the last few years when it has made a name for itself as a company that offers innovative design at a good price. In this sense, Sebastian Wrong has radically changed direction, given that Established & Sons is positioned as a luxury brand.
