About A Chair AAC 26 chair by Hee Welling

HAY describes the AAC 26 as "a full shell featuring a curved back with armrests, for excellent comfort and a soft, unified silhouette," set on "a four-legged base in bent steel tubing that reinforces the minimalist expression and ensures optimal durability." It is the steel equivalent of the AAC 22, with the same dimensions.

The shell: recycled polypropylene, what HAY calls "2.0"

The seat and backrest form a single injection-molded shell made from polypropylene sourced from post-consumer plastic waste: this is what the "2.0" in the color names refers to. The material is dyed throughout: a scratch will not reveal a different color underneath, and maintenance is limited to soapy water. On light colors, slight variations in shade are inherent to the recycled material.

The base: powder-coated steel tube

The base is made of bent steel tubing, powder-coated in black: a baked-on powder that creates a thick, matte layer, which is more impact-resistant than liquid paint. HAY offers this model in other steel finishes; only black is available here. Clean with soapy water, without abrasives.
