Result by Hay

From innovative design to timeless icon. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Result Chair designed by Friso Kramer and Wim was found in every classroom in the Netherlands. Many Dutch people grew up with this innovative design. More than 60 years later, the Result has become a timeless Dutch Design icon. In cafes, restaurant, lobbies and living rooms: the functional but aesthetic design of the Result attracts attention everywhere. Designed in 1958 by Friso Kramer and Wim Rietveld, relaunched by HAY & Ahrend in 2017.

Designer Friso Kramer

Flexible, light and strong design

The Result is a sturdy, yet flexible and light chair which is easy to move. The thin steel sheet base in combination with an oak seat and backrest means the minimalist design remains strong. A chair where functional perfection and aesthetic minimalism come together. Choose from an infinite number of wooden finishes and frame colours. For a complete set, match the Result Chair with a table from the Pyramid collection.

From innovation to icon

Friso Kramer and Wim Rietveld designed a true innovation in 1958. Instead of the tube steel commonly used in the 1920s, the Result was manufactured with folded sheet steel. This resulted in a light, simple and functional chair, which was immensely popular in schools in the 1960s and later it was frequently found outside the classrooms too. In collaboration with HAY, we launched a redesign of the Result chair in 2017.
