The Copenhagen flagship of Danish company Hay is a six-minute walk from Atelier September, the artfully low-key café from chef Frederik Bille Brahe. “We pass by everyday on our way to work,” says Hay cofounder Mette Hay. Naturally, Hay got to know Bille Brahe, and the two began to dream up a kitchen collection of their favorite things.
Bille Brahe has a distinct, unfussy style and Hay, a penchant for color and quirk. Pair the two together and you’ve got the Hay Kitchen Market, a line of everyday kitchenware based on found or reinvented objects sourced from around the world. The collection made its debut in New York earlier this week; Annie and I can verify, the goods are even better in person (we dropped by to check out the offerings).
N.B.: You can find Hay Kitchen Market products at the MoMA Design Store in SoHo, New York (with limited stock online), and in Oslo, Paris, London, Copenhagen, and Hay online in the next month.
Above: Stacks of multicolored porcelain Hay Rainbow Plates; $13–$16 each at MoMA Design Store. The conventional-looking Sugar Shaker is also part of the collection; it’s sourced from Italy. Above: Two colors of enamelware cups and mugs. Above: The Hay Chopping Board in Bordeaux is also available in different shapes and colors; $29-$49 each at MoMA. Above: Blue and green marbled enamelware. Above: A stainless steel pitcher sourced from India and produced in greater quantities for Hay. Above: Glassware created by German glassblower Jochen Holz for Hay; the Clear Jug is also available in two-tone colored glass versions. Above: A bright blue ice cube tray is Hay’s interpretation of basic silicone trays. Above: Borrowed from the chemist for use in the kitchen, the collection features a group of laboratory glassware with blue tops. Here the laboratory glass is used as a water pitcher. Next to it is another piece from the collection, a handblown glass carafe.
Above: A knitted striped washcloth. Above: A signature Atelier September dish (open face avocado on rye) plated on the marbled enamelware. In the background is a trio of stainless steel picnic containers (tiffin tins) of different sizes, also in the collection. Above: A coffee mug in heat-resistant glass and a brown enamel cup. Above: Sourced from France, a blue glass coffee cup and saucer. Above: A cotton Tea Towel in blue check (right). Above: The Hay Teapot in brown porcelain was designed by George Sowden for Hay; $69–$85 at MoMA Design Store. Above: Hay Woods Mugs are designed by Richard Woods for Hay and comes in six colors; $19 each at MoMA Design Store.
Above: A handmade steel bucket that was found in Turkey and produced in collaboration with the maker. Above: Frederik Bille Brahe and Mette Hay both wearing utilitarian French work jackets.
