AAC 18 is a dining chair from the About A Chair collection designed by Hee Welling for HAY, offering a slightly more formal expression within the series through the addition of slim, elegant legs and armrests that frame the seat shell with precision. The armrests introduce a sense of definition and structure without adding visual weight, and the upright, slightly rounded seat provides excellent comfort in a posture appropriate to dining use. The open front of the armrest configuration conveys a welcoming, accessible quality consistent with the About A Chair collection's overall design intent.

The legs are available in chrome and powder-coated finishes, and the post-consumer recycled plastic shell is offered in HAY's wide contemporary colour palette with multiple front upholstery options. The chair's slender, refined profile and the combination of armrests with an open front make it a versatile specification across dining environments ranging from residential kitchens to more formal dining rooms and commercial restaurant settings.

The AAC 18's refined expression and clean armrest profile make it appropriate for residential dining rooms where a slightly more structured dining chair is preferred, as well as for restaurant environments, hospitality dining spaces, and corporate settings where the combination of design quality, ergonomic support, and a considered formal presence is part of the interior brief. Available in a broad range of shell colours and base finishes.

HAY produces the AAC 18 shell from post-consumer recycled plastic, combining the formal quality of the About A Chair series with a more responsible approach to materials.

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