After years of redevelopment, with the objective of recreating HAY's iconic About A Collection from a more sustainable perspective, the About A AA-ECO range is now made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic (a material derived from household waste, like televisions and washing machines)
The About A Stool AAS38 has the same capacity for transformation as the other members in the series, ranging from a minimalistic plastic stool to a more full-bodied upholstered version. The curved backrest is balanced on an elegant rounded frame in metal, showcasing a more industrial design with a strong visual presence. Suitable for as using as a bar stool in bars and restaurants, as well as at home for informal meals. Available in two heights and in a wide range of metal finishes, colours and upholstery options.
Seat Height: 65cm
45cm D x 47cm W x 76cm H
Seat: Polypropylene, Made From 100% Post-Consumer Recycled PP
Base and Footrest: Sled in Ø12 mm Solid Steel
Hee Welling is a Danish furniture designer who founded his own studio in Copenhagen in 2003. Welling has received a number of design awards, including the Bo Bedre Award (Denmark), Good Design Award (USA) and has been nominated as the Danish designer of the year in both 2013 and 2014. Welling is the son of a cabinetmaker, and his fascination with production techniques, materials and machinery was fired as a child. He went on to study at The University of Art and Design in Helsinki, and received his master’s degree in furniture design from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (where he is also now a design tutor). His design ethos is centred around the idea of creating technically accomplished products that can reach a wide audience. His work is characterised by a great sense of proportion and quietly elegant looks. For HAY, Welling has designed the About A series and the Hee Chair, Lounge Chair and Bar Stool.
