About a Stool is the bar stool of the series. It has the same capacity for transformation as the other members of the family and ranges from a minimalist and simple plastic stool to a more full-bodied upholstered version.
With its Nordic legs in lacquered or soap-finished oak or black-stained ash wood, About a Stool has a strong visual presence and feet planted firmly on the ground.
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, and it is equally perfect for private and public settings.
The About series is a true pragmatist, able to blend in or stand out, depending on the task it is assigned. Dramatize the silhouette with heavier upholstery, or opt for more subtle materials and colours. The many colour, upholstery and frame options are a particularly strong feature that allows you to tweak the design without compromising the basic concept.
At the heart of everything that HAY does is the notion that contemporary design should spring from a good idea, innovative technology and quality materials in combination with joyful, straightforward and uncomplicated aesthetics.
