The Uchiwa armchair is a beautiful illustration of Hay's ability to innovate and take up forms that renew design. Doshi Levien, the worldwide recognized design duo, imagined for Hay an armchair with an open and generous shape leaning on wooden uprights, inspired by Japanese hand fans. The hard plastic shell hosts a soft padding that makes it particularly welcoming and comfortable.
Designed to integrate the most diverse environments, it is available in two versions: a quilted, softer one for private spaces, a firmer and more resistant one for public spaces and contracts. A footrest is available as an option.

Doshi Levien
Doshi Levien is a London based design studio founded in 2000 by Nipa Doshi (b. 1971) and Jonathan Levien (b. 1972). Doshi grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design, while Jonathan, who is from Scotland, trained in fine cabinet making followed by industrial design. They met while studying at the Royal College of Art.
They have established a strong reputation for creating design that is both technically advanced and imbued with cultural resonance. They have been internationally acclaimed for their work and in 2008 were awarded the prestigious Future Legends of Design by the Cooper Hewitt National Museum of Design in New York. Together, they bring to bear a complimentary set of skills to the projects they work on.
Doshi is primarily concerned with visual culture, an aesthetic understanding of the world and the materiality of things, while Levien is more focused on industrial precision and technique. They have worked on projects for industry leading companies and institutions in the fields of furniture, fashion, homewares, technology and lighting. For HAY, they have created the Uchiwa Lounge Chair as well as the Dapper Lounge Chair.
