Julien Renault is a Brussels based designer known for elevating everyday typologies through clear geometry and careful material selection. Trained in France and Switzerland, he combines rational, objective methods with a personal, artistic sensibility, finding beauty in ordinary, long lived objects.
Renault’s work for HAY includes the Compass Lamp Collection and the Pastis series. Compass refines the pendant into fixed and height adjustable models with spun aluminium shades and a counterweight system, delivering precise light for dining, kitchen, and workspace settings. His designs offer timeless silhouettes with practical flexibility.
