AAC 123 is a dining chair from the About A Chair collection designed by Hee Welling for HAY, distinguished within the series by its Soft Duo construction — a quilted, upholstered shell that fuses soft tactile materials with the natural elegance and structural character of the four-legged wooden base. The quilted shell introduces a level of material warmth and visual texture that sets the AAC 123 apart from the standard shell versions of the collection, giving it a more intimate, residential character while retaining the fundamental formal identity of the About A Chair series.

The design retains the same high backrest and generous seat that characterise the collection, and the solid base with angled legs that slant slightly outwards provides the optimal stability that allows the chair to be used confidently in active dining contexts. The oak base is available in different finishes, and the quilted shell is offered in multiple textiles and leathers, creating a range of combination possibilities that suit corporate, public, and private residential interiors with equal effectiveness.

The AAC 123 is well suited to residential dining rooms where a more upholstered, materially rich dining chair is preferred, as well as to restaurant environments, boutique hospitality dining rooms, and commercial settings where the combination of chair quality and upholstered comfort contributes to the overall character of the dining experience. Available in multiple shell and base finish combinations.

The AAC 123 is produced by HAY to the upholstery and construction standards consistent with the broader About A Chair collection, ensuring long-term comfort and material integrity.

Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
