HAL Ply Barstool Vitra

HAL is a seats collection designed by Jasper Morrison for Vitra. ‘Special is generally less useful than normal’: this statement sums up Jasper Morrison’s guiding principle for creating designs that are not extraordinary but rather ‘super normal’ and – just like HAL – that show deference to the dictates of daily life. With HAL, he has reinterpreted the multifunctional shell chair and created a versatile family of chairs with a clean contemporary look. The shape of the seat shell provides great freedom of movement in a variety of sitting positions – even sideways or astride the chair.

Over ten different chair bases can be combined with a seat shell in polypropylene (HAL), in plywood (HAL Ply) or with a lightly padded shell covered in leather (HAL Leather). In the versions with a polypropylene shell and powder-coated base, HAL is also suitable for use in outdoor settings. As an additional option, a fabric seat cover is available for HAL in a variety of colours.

HAL Ply Barstool:  Seat shell: plywood. Base: height-adjustable tubular steel pedestal, pneumatic lift powder-coated in basic dark, column sleeve and footrest in chromeplated tubular steel with anti-skid surface.
