Hampton Bays was founded in 1992, in Belgium. The Hampton Bays line is inspired by the fun coastal town Hampton Bays, located at the south of New York, and is characterized with everything that a city is missing: air, light, space and eye for a natural frame. Hampton Bays is reflected in every layer of design, creating the feeling of being away from everyday life.
