Sustainable: About A Chair AAC212 / AAC 212 by Hay 

The About A Chair by Hay is probably the most famous creation by designer Hee Welling. With its minimalist, Scandinavian design and the concise material combination of wood and recycled post consumer plastic, it now sets new standards again. The international bestseller is at home in both private and public spaces.

The AAC 212 model also combines aesthetics and seating comfort: it features a curved shell with a slightly higher back and a slightly deeper, more generous seat. 

About A Chair Collection 

Conscious and simple - the chairs from the About A Chair Collection by Hay follow simple and plain lines so that they can be easily combined with other furnishing objects. They complement a variety of styles perfectly and can therefore also be used perfectly in the contract sector. The simplicity ensures a special multifunctionality and combinability. Wooden and metal frames, unupholstered and upholstered seat shells - each variant shows a restrained elegance that discreetly enhances every room.
