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.  The About series is a true pragmatist, able to blend in or stand out, depending on the task it is assigned. Dramatize  the curvy silhouette with heavier upholstery or opt for a more discreet style in materials and colours. The many colour,  upholstery and frame options are one of the series’ major strengths and allow you to tweak the design without  compromising the basic concept. That is Hee Welling’s potent approach in this series, which is perhaps HAY’s most  unpredictable, and which appeals to a wide audience of all ages and is equally appropriate for private and professional contexts.  

Like the dining chair, this curvy version of About a Chair is designed to be supportive, so you can just sit back and  let the chair do the work. This version has shorter legs and thus occupies a position in between a lounge chair and an  easy chair – laid-back but still with the same stringent design.  About a Chair version is available with three upholstery options: full upholstery of the whole shell, upholstery on the front of the rounded shell or a seat cushion. All three versions create a wow-effect when you see how much the expression  changes with the relatively simple variations in upholstery, which of course owes a great deal to fabric textures and colours.
