HAY is proud to announce the launch of two new additions to the Sowden by HAY family, the Sowden Kettle and Toaster. Marking HAY’s first foray into the field of electrical appliances, both products bring the designer’s signature aesthetic and style to a higher level, transforming these essential household products into decorative as well as functional objects.
