Produced by & Tradition, Rely is a chair with eco-friendly origins. For his design, Hee Welling spent a year researching the perfect material. The simple appearance of the chair and its ergonomic design embody the fusion of minimalism and practicality. Rely's modern hull is made entirely from recycled plastic. The latter is available in a range of contemporary colours. The inventive recycling process set up by the designer recovers post-industrial waste. Once it is crushed into small pieces, the colour is mixed in and then the material is prepared for injection moulding. Clearly, sustainable development is a priority. If the chair is to be repaired, the designer has made it easy to dismantle in order to prolong its life. Each of the curves has been developed to provide optimal back support. Welling emphasises the importance of details for a balanced and harmonious result. The & Tradition Rely chair is also available in upholstered models in a wide variety of fabrics.

The collaboration began in 2010, and since then the duo have created industrial design furniture for a number of national and international brands. Hee Welling's creations are inspired by the tradition of Scandinavian design, expressed in simple, functional and refined lines. Form, function and respect for the environment are all important in his work. In 2004, the Danish brand HAY produced the Hee series, which includes a chair, an armchair and a stool, as well as the famous AAC chair - About A Chair - in 2010.
