Designer Hee Welling sought to develop a chair with undeniable simplicity for the About A Chair collection. Understated and 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 strived to combine form, function, detail, and aesthetics. Produced by Danish company Hay, this collection features a wide range of colours and structures. Hee Welling completed this collection in 2011 with stools and armchairs that followed the same philosophy. About A Stool is sold here with a wooden base that adapts perfectly to any environment. Just like the chair, it ensures optimal comfort and perfectly symbolises the purity and understated, timeless style of Scandinavian design.
Hay was founded in 2002 to promote Danish design, and instead of strictly adhering to the style of the old masters, Hay reinvents their work in a more contemporary context. The company Hay reinterprets classic Nordic design forms in a modern setting, offering friendly, aesthetic, and functional designs. Hay draws inspiration from three main sources: art, architecture, and fashion, while paying particular attention to the surrounding environment and contemporary culture. The goal of Hay is to revive Danish design furniture from the 1950s and 60s. The Hay chairs perfectly embody this spirit: a timeless and minimalist design that combines comfort and functionality with modern lines.
