A more sustainable addition to the popular ‘About a Chair’ seating collection from Hay. This chair scored well for choice of materials for the shell although the base is made from wood. End-of-life pospects rated well as the chair can be dismantled and is fully recyclable. The chair does not stack, is quite heavy and only available in 3 colours (although a range of colour pads are available) with 2 variants of the design. In 2023 the choice of colours was increased to 16, increasing the ERPR score to 8.
