Hee Lounge Chair (2pcs) The philosophy behind the Hee Chair was to take an archetypal chair and perfect it down to the last detail while cutting the expression to the bone. The goal was to create a contemporary chair that would fit into a wide range of contexts. The attempt was successful, and the Hee series is a pragmatic and easily decoded chair series. Like a line drawing, it wraps metre after metre of metal wire into neat, straight lines. The metal wire is electro-galvanized before it is lacquered, which makes it rust-resistant and perfect for outdoor use. The chairs can be linked together in rows for conference use, and the new colour scheme keeps the Hee chairs updated. Hee Lounge is broad and short in stature but proportionally harmonious with its light expression, and the electro-galvanized metal makes it a perfect choice for a simple but fashionable outdoor chair. Note: chairs can only be ordered in multiples of 2. Dimensions: W:72 x D:67 x H:67 (Seat height: 37cm)

Made to order item Hee Welling graduated from the Danish Design School, Department of Space and Furniture in 2003, and immediately after established his own studio - Hee Welling Design - in Copenhagen, Denmark. His designs have deep roots in the Scandinavian design tradition, which is expressed in his simple, functional and refined designs. Form, function and environment are important guidelines in his work.The idea for Hee originated from the desire to create an eco-friendly chair from easily recyclable materials. By manufacturing a chair from a single material, the pollution created when transporting the products from one production site to another is avoided. This way, the process of recycling is also simplified. The aim was to take an archetypal chair as a model and to perfect every single detail. The chair is thus elevated to a higher class while making it simpler to use and more functional. As a result, a clear, plain piece of furniture was to emerge, which would easily integrate in different environment - modern, but not too time-specific.

There is nothing superfluous about the Hee chair – that is to say, no embellishments. No part could be taken off, without loosing some of its function. The chair has a playful expression, but the design doesn't affect its function. The throw-away mentality and environmental awareness don't go together. Finding a balance was also crucial in the design - in order to combine functionality and aesthetics at a high level, the right wire thickness had to be chosen. The Hee-chairs, the Lounge Chair and also the bar stool are made of a 11 mm thick metal wire. Their shape is reminiscent of a three-dimensional pencil- sketch. Hee is available as a club armchair, a dining chair or a bar stool. It can also be seen in the new Osloer Opera House and in the Australian parliament. These stackable pieces of furniture are galvanised and powder-coated, so they make great outdoor furniture and can be left out in any kind of weather. Hay Hee is also available in other colours.

Add “versatility” to the list. It fits perfectly around any table—dining or conference. Or try it behind a desk. The curved polypropylene shell makes this a comfortable place to take a load off. The beech legs are veneered in soap-treated oak or black-stained ash.

His idea was to bring Danish design to a new creative peak that rivaled the storied 1950s and 1960s—but with a modern update.

As creative director, he’s committed to nurturing young upstarts and also “exploring the twisted minds of established designers” and giving both a platform. In practice, that means seeking out imaginative products and evaluating them on their own merits rather than first commissioning a design for certain type of item. And he says his greatest thrill is seeing a prototype for the first time. “We work in a different way to the way our parents did, but we basically live in the same way,” Rolf says. “The news is that there is nothing new, except the possibilities. And that’s great fun.” “My father was a cabinetmaker so, ever since I was a kid, I played around in his workshop creating different objects,” says youthful Copenhagen-based designer Hee Welling. “Besides that, I spent hours drawing, almost every day, so it has always been obvious for me that I wanted to do something creative.” That urge came to be tempered with an appreciation for the Scandinavian design tradition with its legacy of “the beauty of the simple objects, with a clean expression, functional use and logic details.“
