About A Chair The About series is HAY’s most versa6le furniture series. It began with a chair and blossomed into a series with virtually unlimited poten6al. With the About series, Hee Welling has proven that a single strong idea can hold a wealth of development op6ons. Today, the series includes dining and conference chairs, oďŹƒce chairs, bar stools, lounge chairs, tables, a foot stool and, as the latest addi6on, a sofa.
The About series is a true pragma6st, able to blend in or stand out, depending on the task it is assigned. Drama6ze the curvy silhoue[e with heavier upholstery or opt for a more discreet style in materials and colours. The many colour, upholstery and frame op6ons are one of the series’ major strengths and allow you to t w e a k t h e d e s i g n w i t h o u t compromising the basic concept.
ABOUT A CHAIR
The specialty of the chairs collection by Hay: About a Chair is a series that isn’t only combinable with other furniture pieces, but also with each other, since the dierent seats and frames ensure numerous combinations.
By Hee Welling
It doesn’t matter what seat is combined with the dierent frames, the perfection of aesthetics of the design remains unchanged and will never act as if by chance or unwanted.
According to the designer Hee Welling, the About a Chair chairs should suit in homes, offices, at homely dining tables as well as conference tables equally.
The idea of simplicity became a guarantor for multifunctionality and combinability.
