About a Lounge AAL 83 Soft Duo
The AAL 83 Soft Duo fuses the minimalist, more angular aesthetics of the moulded plywood frame with the softness and warmth of the quilted shell in contrasting materials. Retaining the same compact body, shaped armrests, and simple, sculpted design that characterise the rest of the lounge series, this design features a solid base with angled legs that slant slightly outwards for optimal stability. The base is available in different finishes and the quilted shell is offered with two different textiles or leathers to create a unique look that works equally well in corporate, public, or private contexts. /Please note that more configurations are available than the options shown here.

About a Lounge / Designer
Hee Welling is a Danish furniture designer who founded his own studio in Copenhagen in 2003. The son of a cabinetmaker, Welling’s fascination with production techniques, materials, and machinery was fired as a child. He went on to study at The University of Art and Design in Helsinki, and received his master’s degree in furniture design from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Centred around the idea of creating technically accomplished products that can reach a wide audience, his designs are characterised by a great sense of proportion and quietly elegant aesthetics.
Welling has received a number of design awards, including the Bo Bedre Award (Denmark), Good Design Award (USA), and has been nominated as Danish designer of the year in 2013 and 2014. For HAY, Welling has designed the About A series and the Hee Collection.
