AAC 12 is a dining chair from the About A Chair collection designed by Hee Welling for HAY — a series conceived around the idea of creating a versatile, democratic chair that performs well across the full range of domestic and commercial interior contexts. The AAC 12 offers a pared-back, armless silhouette with a gently curved open shell and a symmetrical solid wood base, achieving a refreshingly clean expression that allows it to integrate naturally into a wide range of dining environments without imposing a strong stylistic identity.
The post-consumer recycled plastic shell is available in a broad palette of contemporary colours, and multiple front upholstery options allow for personalisation within the collection's consistent formal framework. The solid wood frame is available in different finishes — oak, beech, and others — giving the AAC 12 the material flexibility to suit both warmer, natural interior schemes and cleaner, more contemporary directions. The absence of armrests ensures the chair fits comfortably beneath tables of varying heights, a practical consideration that enhances its usability across different dining contexts.
The AAC 12 is well suited to residential dining rooms, kitchen settings, and open-plan living spaces, and its versatility makes it equally appropriate for café environments, restaurant dining, office canteens, and any commercial or public setting where a durable, design-quality dining chair in a wide range of colours is required.
HAY produces the AAC 12 using post-consumer recycled plastic for the shell, reflecting the brand's broader commitment to more responsible material choices across the About A Chair range.
