Choosing the AAL 83 Lounge Chair
Decide where the chairs will go
Consider reception, waiting and staff lounge areas, including quieter spaces in financial-services offices. Check how people will move around each chair.
Choose the AAL 83 version
Compare the standard upholstered shell with AAL 83 Soft, which has extra wadding in the back and seat. Specify the exact version before selecting fabrics.
Check the room layout
Allow for a 76 cm width and 73 cm depth per chair, plus clear space for access and circulation. Test a sample if fit is critical.
Select upholstery and base
Choose from HAY’s currently approved fabrics and leathers. The angled plywood base has oak veneer with a choice of water-based lacquered oak or black lacquered finish.
Decide on cushions and gliders
A removable seat cushion is optional on the standard AAL 83, but not offered on the Soft version. Ask about felt gliders for wooden floors.
Confirm the final specification
Share quantities, intended use, floor type and delivery location with a project consultant. They can confirm current upholstery choices and any optional fire-retardant foam requirement.
The AAL 83 Lounge Chairs were specified for the Prestigious International School project, providing comfortable and contemporary seating within the educational environment. Their sculpted upholstered shells and angled timber legs bring a refined, welcoming feel to the space, creating an inviting setting for relaxation, informal conversations and moments away from more structured learning activities.
