A year in the making, Welling's main focus for Rely was to prioritise sustainability and demonstrate the importance of fine detailing and the use of innovative materials. Crafted using an inventive material recycling process, the simple shell is moulded from 100% recycled plastic and built with an easy to dismantle construction, should it require repair. Ensuring that HW9 can be enjoyed for years to come, the chair is not only highly practical but environmentally-friendly and elegant. Carefully developed for optimum support, the cushioned seat and ergonomic silhouette fit perfectly to the contours of the spine, offering the user hours of unrivalled comfort, whilst the silky cognac leather upholstery, enriched by a very natural and organic finish, make the chair an incredibly versatile piece, suited to both classic and contemporary spaces alike. The HW9 Rely Dining Chair is part of a wide range of designs from Hee Welling for &Tradition, shop the full collection here.
Hee's designs are deeply rooted in the Scandinavian design tradition, which is evident in his simple, functional and refined designs.
Form and function are the two important guidelines in his work.
