HAY About A Stool 38 – Hee Welling

The HAY About A Stool 38, designed by Danish designer Hee Welling, brings together a distinctive moulded seat and a slender steel frame. It’s a simple design at first glance, but the proportions, curves and detailing give it a character of its own.

The stool belongs to HAY’s celebrated About A collection, a family of chairs and stools developed by Welling around a straightforward idea: creating furniture that feels familiar and approachable, but has enough character to work in a wide variety of interiors. The collection has become one of HAY’s most recognisable designs, appearing in homes, cafés, restaurants and commercial spaces around the world.

The moulded seat is the defining feature of the About A Stool 38. Its gently curved back wraps around the sitter, providing comfort without the need for upholstery. The sculptural shape looks particularly good from behind, while the slim steel legs and integrated footrest provide a striking contrast to the rounded shell.

These examples feature vibrant red-orange seats with black steel frames. It’s a particularly appealing combination, with the colour bringing personality to the design without overwhelming its clean lines.

Equally suited to a kitchen island, breakfast bar or commercial setting, the About A Stool 38 offers the appeal of contemporary Danish design in a practical, everyday piece.
