AAL 81 is a lounge chair from HAY's About A Lounge Chair collection, designed by Hee Welling. This version of the series is mounted on a four-leg star swivel base, a configuration that adapts the collection's lounge character to settings where rotation and ease of movement are practical requirements. The swivel base is available in both high- and low-back versions — the high-backed version providing a more formal, enclosed expression suited to private lounges and semi-private workspace settings, while the low-backed shell offers a lighter, more open character appropriate for social and collaborative environments.

The About A Lounge Chair series is designed around a compact body with shaped armrests and a sculpted shell that provides genuine seated comfort over extended periods. The HAY material range provides a broad upholstery selection, and the base finish options allow the chair to be specified precisely across different interior colour and material directions. The swivel mechanism supports flexible use in environments where the orientation of seating may need to change during use.

The AAL 81 is well suited to residential living rooms and reading areas, and its swivel configuration makes it particularly appropriate for home offices, corporate lounge areas, and hospitality environments where a lounge chair that allows comfortable rotation and adjustment of orientation during seated use is required. Available in a broad range of HAY upholstery options and base finishes.

HAY produces the AAL 81 to the upholstery and base standards consistent across the About A Lounge Chair series, supporting quality and comfort in sustained use.

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