Originally designed to re-use surplus wooden shipping pallets, renowned Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Rietveld created the Crate Collection in 1934. The design has now been reimagined by HAY using high quality joinery pine wood. Rietveld designed the Crate series as an inexpensive alternative to expensive furniture during the economic crisis of the time. Made with respect to the original design, the HAY Crate Collection shares the same strength and precisely balanced proportions with honest construction to minimise production costs and optimise the assembly process. The clever knock-down construction allows for simple self-assembly and a lower environmental impact through efficient shipping.

Featuring a simple flat-pack construction, the table's rectangular tabletop and diagonal crossbars add simplicity and reflect the designer's architectural style, providing functionality and perfect proportions. Crafted with FSC-certified solid pinewood and finished with three layers of lacquer, the Crate Dining Table is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use.

We suggest pairing the Crate Dining Table with the Crate Dining Bench and Crate Dining Chair to complete the look.
