The armchair ABOUT A CHAIR - ref. AAC123 and AAC123 SOFT

AAC 123 and AAC 123 Soft (AAC collection): structure in polypropylene, full seat in fabric, mounted on Oeko-Tex foam, base in molded plywood. By HAY

The AAC 100 series is a continuation of the long-term collaboration between HAY and designer Hee Welling.
Whilst retaining the fundamental idea shared by the AAC family, the 100 series is actually very different to its predecessors.

AAC 100 was developed to accommodate the changing landscape of our work environment and to meet a growing need for greater comfort in the workspace, where there has been a visible shift from traditional desk seating to more welcoming and flexible seating solutions.

Inspired by the ample, sculpted curves of the About a Lounge, the AAC 100 series features a high backrest and generous seat that combines inviting aesthetics with a high level of comfort.
The AAC 100 series comprises variants with different quilting types, upholstery options, and interchangeable base types, making it a versatile and functional collection suited to a wide variety of domestic, office, and public settings.

AAC - ABOUT A CHAIR

The ABOUT series is HAY’s most versatile furniture series.

It began with a chair and blossomed into a series with virtually unlimited potential. With the ABOUT series, Hee Welling has proven that a single strong idea can hold a wealth of development options. Today, the series includes dining and conference chairs, office chairs, bar stools, lounge chairs, tables, a foot stool and, as the latest addition, a sofa, and it is equally perfect for private and public settings. The ABOUT series is a true pragmatist, able to blend in or stand out, depending on the task it is assigned. Dramatize the silhouette with heavier upholstery, or opt for more subtle materials and colours. The many colour, upholstery and frame options are a particularly strong feature that allows you to tweak the design without compromising the basic concept.

ABOUT A CHAIR has an open frame construction in bent steel that brings added lightness to the intuitive design. The shell is round and upright at the same time and combines a high degree of seating comfort with an inviting expression. The open frame is available in stainless steel as well as a black or white powder-coating, which lets you design contrast-rich colour combinations of frame and seat. The many possible combinations of frame, shell and colours make ABOUT A CHAIR an ultra-flexible and versatile chair that celebrates individuality.
