The Hazel Collection embodies thoughtful detailing, ergonomic support, and solid ash construction. Rooted in craft, each chair features mortise and tenon joinery—celebrating time-honored techniques with modern refinement.
Offered in five models, Hazel maintains a consistent silhouette while allowing a range of textile applications for personalized material expression. With an upright pitch designed for active posture, the collection brings quiet confidence to today's dynamic workplace, hospitality, and collaborative environments.
With single fabric, dual fabric and multi-fabric options – Hazel offers designers a canvas to make the guest chair their own. Wrapped arms, a draped center runner, and meticulous upholstery and seam placement elevate visual appeal and tactility, inviting personal interaction and a luxe feel.
"I enjoy creating a canvas that is resolved in form and leaves room for designers to create their own story," says designer Alyssa Coletti. "You can highlight a detailed textile or keep it as a subtle surprise on the secondary surface. You can color block or use the same textile for textural expression. It's yours now."
Thoughtfully engineered proportions allow for longer sit times without sacrificing elegance, while Hazel’s upright pitch and supportive back encourage an engaged posture. Each seam, curve, taper and joint celebrates the capabilities of honest, modern wood craft while staying true to HBF’s time-honored standards of quality.
“Hazel is the quintessential HBF brand product – timeless, expressive, and rooted in American craftsmanship,” says Casey Baxter, Vice President and General Manager of HBF. “It brings warmth and sophistication to the category while allowing designers to personalize the product through materiality, project to project. We’re thrilled to launch Hazel with Alyssa Coletti, who understands that good design should offer flexibility and quality without sacrificing beauty, which our clients expect from HBF.”
Hazel honors HBF’s legacy of finely crafted wood and upholstered seating while offering a fresh opportunity for designers to explore materiality and construction capabilities.
The resulting silhouette is warm, sculpted, and unmistakably welcoming. Rounded edges and a softened visual language make Hazel a natural fit for contemporary workplace, collaborative, social, and hospitality settings.
