Collection Story
Origin
Hee Welling's studio describes About A Chair as a series of chairs with seat shells in PP plastic and bases in wood, veneer, aluminium or steel, made by HAY. HAY calls it "An About A Chair For All".
Models
Thirty-nine chair models, AAC 08 to AAC 253, plus the AAC Seat Pad, with interchangeable frame, shell and upholstery options.
Bases
HAY names the wooden base of the AAC 22/23 and the bent-steel tube base of the AAC 26/27 as the two ends of the range.
