About A Lounge AAL 81 lounge chair by Hee Welling

The AAL 81 is the low-backed version of the About A Lounge chair, mounted on a four-star swivel base made of aluminium. HAY describes it as “a compact, sculptural shell, designed for comfort and visual lightness.”

The base is a four-star swivel base in aluminium, either powder-coated black or polished.

With or without seat cushion

The chair can be ordered on its own, or with its matching seat cushion: the same upholstery quality as the shell, attached with Velcro strips. HAY considers these as two separate items: you can make your selection here in the Seat cushion menu, and the supplement corresponds exactly to the catalogue price of the cushion alone.

The upholstery: 44 fabric qualities, 5 price categories

At HAY, the price of an upholstered chair depends on the price category of the fabric, not the colour. Within a category, the choice of colour is free and incurs no extra charge. Please specify the "fabric name + colour code" in the order comments: we will confirm before production begins. Fabric swatches can be viewed in-store.
