HAY Palissade Sets

HAY Palissade Sets

HAY Palissade sets make it easier to create a coordinated outdoor dining or lounge area. Each arrangement combines compatible furniture from the HAY Palissade collection, allowing you to choose a complete setting without selecting every table, chair or occasional piece separately.

Our Palissade garden furniture sets include options for balconies, patios, terraces and larger gardens. From compact arrangements for two to generous dining sets for family meals and entertaining, every combination retains the collection’s distinctive linear form and clear architectural character.

Coordinated Palissade garden furniture sets

Designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Palissade is based on a consistent family of powder-coated or galvanised steel furniture. Tables, dining chairs, armchairs, benches and lounge pieces share the same proportions and repeated slatted construction, so they can be arranged together without appearing overly matched.

Choosing a set helps establish the principal furniture layout in one purchase. It also reduces uncertainty around the number of seats, the scale of the table and whether the pieces will work visually together. Once the main arrangement is established, additional Palissade furniture can be introduced later if the space or the way you use it changes.

Palissade dining sets

A HAY Palissade dining set provides a practical focal point for outdoor meals, weekend lunches and summer entertaining. Different configurations combine Palissade tables with dining chairs, armchairs or benches, allowing you to choose the type of seating that best suits your household.

Chairs without arms create a particularly clean arrangement and can fit efficiently around a table. Armchairs provide additional support and a more generous seat, while benches offer flexible places that are useful when the number of guests changes.

When choosing a dining set, check the complete dimensions rather than the table size alone. Allow enough space for each chair to be pulled back and for people to pass comfortably around the arrangement. A smaller dining set may be more enjoyable to use than a large table that restricts movement.

Rectangular tables suit longer patios and terraces, while compact and cone-shaped tables can make better use of square courtyards and smaller paved areas.

Palissade balcony and bistro sets

Compact outdoor areas still benefit from a clearly defined place to sit. Palissade balcony and bistro sets combine smaller tables with two or more chairs to create a practical setting for coffee, reading or informal dining.

The collection’s open steel construction helps these arrangements feel visually light, which is useful where space is limited. Several Palissade chairs can also be stacked, making it easier to clear the floor when the furniture is not required.

Before choosing a balcony set, measure the usable floor area and note the position of doors, railings and planters. Check that chairs can be moved without obstructing the entrance and that the table leaves sufficient room for comfortable circulation.

Palissade lounge and patio sets

Palissade lounge sets use lower seating to create a more relaxed outdoor arrangement. A combination of lounge chairs, a lounge sofa, an ottoman or a low table can transform a quiet garden corner into a useful extension of the living room.

Patio sets may combine different seating types to support conversation, drinks and casual entertaining. Their flexible layouts can work especially well in irregular spaces where a conventional dining table is not the priority.

If you prefer a softer seating surface, explore the HAY Palissade Cord collection. The Cord range uses the same recognisable frame with woven recycled polyester seating, allowing it to coordinate with standard Palissade tables and accessories.

Palissade picnic and entertaining sets

Picnic-style arrangements provide informal seating for family gatherings and shared meals. Benches make it easy for people to move in and out of the setting, while the linear design keeps the complete arrangement visually coherent.

Larger entertaining sets are suited to gardens where different activities happen at the same time. A dining area can support meals, while lounge seating creates a separate place for drinks and conversation. Because all Palissade pieces belong to the same collection, these zones can feel connected even when they serve different purposes.

Choosing a colour for your Palissade set

Palissade’s powder-coated colours have been selected to work across natural and architectural environments. Olive has an understated relationship with planting, Anthracite creates a strong contemporary contrast and Iron Red adds warmth. Sky Grey and Cream White produce a lighter, quieter effect.

Colour can help connect the furniture to its surroundings. Consider nearby brick, stone, timber, paving and exterior paintwork as well as the garden’s planting. A contrasting colour can make the set a focal point, while a related shade allows it to settle more subtly into the space.

Check the colour specified for every component before ordering additional pieces at a later date. Matching colour names across the collection makes it straightforward to expand an existing set.

Improving comfort and protecting your furniture

Palissade’s steel seating can be used as it is, but cushions add softness and can make longer periods of dining or lounging more comfortable. Our Palissade cushions include options for different chair, bench and lounge designs.

Store cushions in a dry place when they are not being used and follow the specific care instructions for their fabric and filling. Furniture covers can help protect the frames from dirt and prolonged exposure, although furniture and covers should be clean and dry before being enclosed for storage.

For maintenance advice, read the Palissade care guide. Regular cleaning and prompt attention to spills will help preserve the finish.

Building an outdoor setting over time

A Palissade set can form the starting point for a larger garden scheme. A dining arrangement can later be complemented by a lounge chair and low table, while a balcony set can be expanded with extra stackable seating.

Keep circulation and sightlines in mind as the space develops. Separating dining and lounging areas with planters can provide definition, while a consistent furniture colour maintains visual continuity. Portable outdoor lighting can add atmosphere after dark without requiring permanent wiring.
