Description
Overview
The AAC 212 is an About A Chair armchair on a wooden base with rounded legs. HAY describes its look as timeless and organic. The curved shell has a slightly higher back, a deep, generous seat and lower armrests that, HAY says, allow the chair to slide in under a table or desk.
Construction
The solid wood frame is finished in more than one way. The shell is moulded from post-consumer recycled plastic; HAY pairs it with many colours and several front upholstery choices. The first listed variant has a Slate blue 2.0 polypropylene shell on a frame of water-based lacquered solid walnut, with standard gliders.

Story
Organic and Functional
HAY gives the AAC 212 a timeless, organic aesthetic. It keeps the idea that runs through the About A Chair range and adds a curved shell with a slightly higher back.
