The About series is HAY’s most versatile furniture series. It began with a chair and blossomed into a series with virtually unlimited potential. With the About series, Hee Welling has proven that a single strong idea can hold a wealth of development options. Today, the series includes dining and conference chairs, office chairs, bar stools, lounge chairs, tables, a foot stool and, as the latest addition, a sofa, and it is equally perfect for private and public settings. The About series is a true pragmatist, able to blend in or stand out, depending on the task it is assigned. Dramatize the silhouette with heavier upholstery, or opt for more subtle materials and colours. The many colour, upholstery and frame options are a particularly strong feature that allows you to tweak the design without compromising the basic concept.

The high-backed About a Chair has a majestic aura in this version with a steam-bent frame that is accented by the slightly more open shell. While the lower version has a more intimate expression, the high-backed version is more spacious. Both the high and the low versions come with the same minimalist wooden frame, which gives the chair a slightly more angular expression than the round wooden legs. However, regardless which legs you choose, About a Lounge Chair is a comfortable and functional seating sculpture with its high or low back, where the stitching contributes to a graphic expression that appears subtle or striking, depending on your choice of upholstery.
