NEW ORDER BENCH
By Stefan Diez
INSTRUCTION MANUAL

New Order is born of 100% industrial production, reflecting
our ambition to create uncompromising and high-precision
quality products. At first glance, the system architecture
is ultra-simple, but on closer acquaintance it proves
quite complex in its multi-purpose versatility. New Order
can be tall or short, wide or narrow, open or closed – or
any combination in between.
New Order’s simple grid and innovative elements that are up to
2 metres long let you build airy, open compositions or closed
constructions with side panels and folding doors. By adding
panels all around you can achieve a wall-like
expression. The functionality is exceptional, with doors,
back panels and side panels that can be clicked on and
off without the use of tools.
Shelving and storing units form the backbone of New Order
Workspace Elements. Attached or detached tables in
different heights for sitting as well as standing enable an
almost infinite number of customized configurations.
INTRODUCTION

CAUTION
With a little care you can prolong the life of your
furniture and keep the materials in good condition.
The information below is only intended as a general
guideline. For more information on how to remove
specific stains, please inquire where you bought the
furniture.
• Always remove stains quickly before they can do any
permanent damage to the furniture.
• Avoid placing the furniture in direct sunlight or near a
strong heat source to reduce changes.
• When you move the furniture, make sure to lift it rather
than pulling or pushing it to avoid damaging the floor,
legs and mountings.
• Tighten up the screws after one to two months’ use.
• Avoid improper use such as putting your feet on the
furniture or standing on the it.
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface with
sharp objects.
• Smooth out creases and wrinkles with your hand after
use to even out the fabric and prevent seam lines from
being skewed.
FABRICS
• Vacuum the benchtop regularly to remove dust and
avoid fluff and pilling.
• Straighten the fabric with your hands from time to
time. Wrinkles in the fabric can be straightened using a
steamer.
• Soak up spilled liquids immediately with an absorbent
napkin or cloth by dabbing gently towards the centre of
the stain.
• Most stains can be removed with lukewarm water on
a clean lint-free cloth. If necessary, add a little neutral
detergent. Avoid rubbing the material hard as this could
result in loss of colour and damage the fabric. It may
also be necessary to use a hairdryer to avoid leaving an
outline.
• Never use concentrated detergents or bleach,
ammonia or soap intended for hard surfaces.
• HAY only uses top-quality fabrics but all fabrics fade,
and seams weaken, when exposed to strong heat or
sunlight.
SILK LEATHER
•Silk is an aniline leather, which means that it has no or
only a light surface treatment to preserve the leather’s
natural surface and soft touch.
• Vacuum regularly using the upholstery nozzle. Be
careful not to scratch the leather.
• All natural markings, such as scars and insect bites,
will be visible on aniline leather, which contributes to
the leather’s exclusive appearance.
• This kind of leather is very susceptible to dirt, and
over time it will patinate and become slightly darker.
• Aniline leather is demanding to maintain, and we
recommend that you keep a cleaner and care product
suitable for this type of leather at hand.
• Using water may leave a permanent stain on the
surface.
• Do not use sharp objects, strong detergents or
solvents on the leather.
• HAY only uses top-quality leathers but all leathers
fade, and seams weaken, when exposed to strong heat
or sunlight.
POWDER COATED ALUMINIUM
• Clean with a clean cloth wrung in water or in a solution
of water and a neutral detergent. Remove soap residue
immediately using a clean, dry cloth.
• Avoid using scouring cream or scouring pads, as they
may scratch the surface.

DISCLAIMER

the instructions for New Order Shelving System.
PARTS

1.
IDENTIFYING BOTTOM SHELF
The bottom shelf has black adjustable nylon feet mounted in each corner.
2.
GETTING THE BASE LEVEL
Place a spirit level on the bottom shelf in order to check whether the base is level. A perfectly
leveled base is essential to achieve a satisfying end result.
3.
LEVELING USING THE FEET
If the New Order bottom shelf is not level, adjust it by partly unscrewing the four
adjustable feet. They can either be adjusted by unscrewing by hand or with an allen key.

4.
MOUNT SINGLE PROFILE
Mount the single profile in each corner of the shelf.
5.
SET SCREW PLACEMENT
When mounting the profiles to the shelf make sure that the set
screws are pointing towards the middle of the shelf.

AVOIDING GAPS
Make sure that the profiles are pressed firmly
against the shelf leaving no gaps. Any gaps can
lead to difficulties later on in the assembly
process.
6.
IDENTIFYING TOP SHELF
The top shelf has only connectors on the bottom side and a flat top.
Insert top shelf into all four profiles.

7.
SET SCREW PLACEMENT
Each profile contains set screws that lock into the shelf in order to stabilize the construction.
When you have finished building the New Order Bench make sure to tighten all set screws.
8.
MOUNTING CUSHION
Peel off the paper protecting the adhesive tape.
9.
MOUNTING CUSHION
Apply the cushion to the shelf. Make sure that it is aligned with all four corners.

10.
MOUNTING CUSHION
When in place, make sure to apply sufficient pressure along the adhesive strips so
that they fasten completely to the top shelf.
11.
ADJUST CUSHION
In case of incorrect placement, adjust the cushion by lifting it up from the velcro and place it
correctly according to the perimeter of the top shelf.
