With the About A Chair collection, the designer Hee Welling wanted to develop a chair with an obvious simplicity. An understated, pure design for a chair that works just as well around a dining room table as it does around a conference table, in a canteen or in an office. The designer's aim was to combine form, function, detail and aesthetics. The Danish company Hay has released this collection, which presents a wide range of colours and structures. Here, the polypropylene shell rests on a wooden base. Available as a chair or small armchair, About A Chair ensures optimum comfort thanks to its ergonomically shaped, wrap-around shell. A chair that perfectly epitomises the simplicity, restraint and timeless style of Scandinavian design.
Hay was founded in 2002 to promote Danish design. The company Hay reinterprets the classic forms of Nordic design with a modern approach, offering friendly, aesthetic, and functional creations. Hay draws inspiration from three main areas: art, architecture, and fashion, while paying close attention to the environment and contemporary culture. The Hay chairs, like the brand’s entire furniture collection, perfectly embody this spirit: a sleek and timeless design, combining comfort and functionality with modern and minimalist lines. The Palissade outdoor collection is a must-have from the brand HAY, designed by French brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
