A modern icon gets a sustainable refresh. The HAY About A Collection is now made from 100% post-consumer plastic and has been released in nine new colours in fresh, playful tones.
The HAY About A Collection (AAC) is now made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, taking Hee Welling’s iconic seating collaboration with HAY in a more sustainable direction.
In addition, the wooden bases are sourced from FSC-certified forests, with all the chairs and stools in the AAC Eco range featuring the EU Ecolabel.
The AAC Eco range is available in multiple colour possibilities and can be adapted to harmoniously integrate into all kinds of interior spaces – public, private or corporate – and with a good conscience.
"The About A Collection is one of our most foundational ranges. We’ve given it an important update that makes it relevant for today. Using post-consumer plastic for the shell has enabled us to drastically reduce the emissions associated with the production of this series, and we are very proud of that."
Rolf Hay, Co-Founder and Creative Director of HAY
Recycled Material.
With the objective of recreating HAY’s iconic AAC series to reduce the impact on the environment, the About A Collection Eco uses 100% post-consumer recycled plastic; a material derived from household waste, like televisions and washing machines.
The plastic is collected, sorted and cleaned in recycling programmes, before being reprocessed into About A Collections Eco shells.

"Colour is a very important tool at HAY. When it came to working with colour on a product line as precious as the About A Chair Collection, it initially seemed like quite a daunting task; especially since it’s been one of the most significant for HAY since its founding over 20 years ago.
The collection’s versatility means that we have seen the chair used in so many different contexts – from canteens to office environments and people’s kitchens at home – so, the demands to find a colour scale that suited all these contexts were high. With all this said, the colour palette that we present today came quite naturally."
