AAC 222 is a dining chair from the About A Chair collection designed by Hee Welling for HAY, characterised by a wooden frame with elegant, tapered legs that give the design a timeless, organic aesthetic rooted in the Scandinavian furniture tradition. The curved shell with a slightly higher back provides a generous seat depth and a comfortable upright posture, while the lower armrests offer practical support without restricting the chair's ability to fit beneath a standard dining table — a considered functional detail that enhances its usability in active dining environments.
The tapered wooden legs introduce a warmth and natural material character that sets the AAC 222 apart from the metal-based versions of the collection, making it particularly well suited to residential and hospitality settings where the combination of natural wood and contemporary upholstered seating is the desired aesthetic direction. The oak base is available in different finishes, and the upholstered shell offers multiple textile and leather options within HAY's broad material range.
The AAC 222 is well suited to residential dining rooms and kitchen settings where a warm, well-crafted dining chair with contemporary design quality is required. Its combination of organic wooden legs and upholstered shell also makes it appropriate for boutique restaurant dining rooms, hospitality environments, and any commercial setting where the quality and material character of the seating contributes to the overall atmosphere of the space.
HAY produces the AAC 222 to the upholstery and frame standards consistent across the About A Chair family, ensuring consistent quality in both material and construction.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
