ABOUT A CHAIR COLLECTION
The ABOUT A series was launched through a long-term collaboration between HAY and designer Hee Welling. The aim was to create a series of chairs based on good quality, simple design and an uncompromising concept. Its versatility and contemporary design, suitable for use in a variety of spaces including private and public facilities, have made it an immovable favorite since its release.
HEE WELLING

Welling was born into a family of cabinet makers and his interest in production techniques, materials and machines began at an early age. He studied at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki and obtained a Master's in Furniture Design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he is currently a lecturer in design.
His design philosophy is to create technically perfect products for the masses, with beautiful proportions and a graceful, elegant look.
HAY
HAY is a Danish furniture company founded in Copenhagen in 2002 by Mette Hay and Rolf Hay.
Guided by the belief that "good design is a right for everyone," co-founders and creative directors Mette Heye and Rolf Heye work with talented designers from around the world to create high-quality products that can be used by a wide range of people.
"The great thing about art is that it is full of originality and the unexpected. Architecture is the backdrop for our creations and the place where they are used. And fashion has the power to reflect the spirit and happenings of the times. This product, which exists between art, architecture and fashion and incorporates a little bit of all of them, may be the best product I have ever made."
Rolf Hey
HAY is committed to developing long-lasting products that minimize the impact on the environment. We optimize the use of sustainable materials such as recycled materials, FSC-certified wood and water-based lacquers, and increase the number of ECO-certified products. We have strict regulatory requirements and the majority of our products are tested to comply with international standards for strength, durability and safety.
