Danish darling Hay is known for color combos that just hit right: maroon and baby blue duvets, yolk yellow and cream shower curtains, black and forest green rugs. Its newest line applies that stylish know-how to our furriest friends. Hay Dog is the brainchild of the brand’s cofounder, Mette Hay, and her friend Barbara Maj Husted Werner, owner of the very chic Copenhagen boutique Holly Golightly.
While on a routine walk in the woods with their pups, the pair dreamed up a collection of everyday products that sport Hay’s signature mix of form and function, a cheerful palette, and utilitarian design. Mette, who is also the creative director for the brand’s accessories, wanted to bring some whimsy to the category, adding that pet items often lean into neutral or earth tones. Werner is in agreement. “Dogs have all kinds of ’personal items’ similar to any other member of the family, so why shouldn’t they be nice to look at?” she asks. She immediately got to work on the color-blocked dog bed design, which comes in three sizes appropriate for all kinds of breeds.
Beyond the bed, the capsule includes tri-tone dog bowls, a dog collar (we’re partial to the lavender and emerald), and a braided leash, too. All of the fabric pieces are made with recycled polyester, and the bowls are crafted from heavy stoneware so they don’t go flying when a big snout comes in hot for dinner.
