Product Information
Full details
The HAY Layout Armchair 231 is designed for professionals and design-conscious individuals seeking a comfortable, practical, and environmentally friendly seating solution for workspaces and homes. Its key benefit lies in its unique, supportive open-back shell made from recycled plastic, promoting long-term use through its fully disassembled design. A potential consideration is that the polished aluminium base, while elegant, may show fingerprints more readily than a powder-coated finish.

Troubleshooting
Chair wobbles or is unstable
Ensure the shell is securely fastened to the base. Check that the base is on a level surface. Verify all screws are tightened according to the assembly instructions.
Swivel base is stiff or noisy
Inspect the swivel mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Clean the mechanism with a dry cloth. If necessary, a small amount of appropriate lubricant may be applied, following manufacturer recommendations (if provided).
Surface marks on the shell
Gently clean the affected area with a damp, soft cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild soap diluted in water, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth and drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Scratches on the polished aluminium base
For minor scuffs, try a specialized aluminium polish. Always test the polish on a small, hidden area first. Deep scratches may be difficult to remove entirely and may require professional assessment.
