“About a Chair is a chair collection by Hay with a striking simplicity in its design.

Hee Welling is a Danish furniture designer who opened his first studio in Copenhagen in 2003.

While exhibiting at the Copenhagen design fair in 2004, Welling met Rolf and Mette Hay of the Danish design company HAY.

This kicked off a partnership and several successful launches, one of which was the About A Chair in 2009.

In 2019 HAY joined forces with Herman Miller and began producing the About A Chair to a wide variety of customers on a larger scale.

You can purchase and authentic About a Chair via Design Within Reach:
