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. Rather than sticking closely to the style of the country's former masters of design, Hay reinvents their work in a more contemporary context. The brand revisits the classical forms of Nordic design in a more contemporary context. Hay boasts user-friendly, aesthetic and functional designs. It draws from three main sources of inspiration: art, architecture and fashion. The producer pays particular attention to its environment and is inspired by contemporary culture.
