HAL Family

„Special is usually less usable than normal“ is Jasper Morrison’s guiding principle for a design that is not extraordinary but „super normal“ and, like HAL, conforms to the laws of everyday life. With HAL, he has reinterpreted the multifunctional shell chair and created a versatile family with a clear, contemporary expression. The shape of the seat shell offers plenty of freedom of movement and allows different sitting positions – even sideways or astride. The chair’s many different bases can be combined with a shell made of recycled plastic (HAL RE), with a seat shell made of plywood (HAL Ply) or with an upholstered shell with an interchangeable fabric cover (HAL Soft). In the versions with a plastic seat shell and powder-coated base, HAL is also suitable for outdoor use. A cover in various fabric colors is also available for HAL and a seat cushion for the HAL models with plastic shell. Related to HAL is the HAL Armchair.

HAL RE

RE stands for recycled material

With HAL RE, Vitra has converted another product to recycled plastic. HAL is Jasper Morrison’s interpretation of a shell chair in the tradition of the Plastic Chair by Charles and Ray Eames, which can be used in a variety of ways thanks to its different bases – from the dining table to the meeting room, from the bar to the auditorium. Vitra has now further developed HAL, which was designed in 2010: The seat shell of HAL RE is made of recycled plastic. The basis for the recycled material of HAL RE is the German household recycling collection „Gelber Sack“, which mainly contains used packaging. The use of this recycled material causes fewer climate-damaging emissions compared to the previous plastic and also consumes significantly less energy. The colors have tiny speckles due to the composition of the recycled material. Only the color white cannot yet be used in the new material. However, as the technical possibilities are developing rapidly, a changeover is expected soon. The seat shell of HAL RE can also be 100% recycled at the end of its product life and therefore meets the strict ecological requirements that Vitra places on new materials and solutions in product development and manufacture.

HAL Ply

Ply is the abbreviation for plywood

HAL’s wooden seat shell made of plywood offers excellent seating comfort thanks to its slightly flexible and ergonomically shaped shell. One of the material properties of plywood is that it is equally strong in both directions. This makes it possible to define ergonomic properties through the shaping of plywood. The seat shell made of three-dimensionally shaped plywood is slightly flexible and ensures good comfort. The core of the HAL Ply seat shells consists of three layers of birch, which is easily deformable yet very tough, and a top veneer of light or dark-stained oak. The plywood is pressed into a mold using steam and heat, bent in various directions to form an ergonomic seat and backrest and glued under pressure. The shell is given a transparent coating to protect the surface from UV rays.

HAL Soft

Soft refers to the upholstery

The upholstery of HAL Soft ensures pleasant comfort and its volume gives the characteristic HAL shell a soft expression. The cover is not glued and can therefore be removed for cleaning or replacement. HAL Soft is available with different fabric covers.

Laser RE

Laser RE is made from recycled polyester, is abrasion-resistant, easy to clean and hard-wearing and can therefore also be used in office environments. Laser RE is available in 25 colors.

Plano

Plano is a robust, even flat weave in plain weave made of 100% polyester. Its durability makes it ideal for office furnishings. Plano is available in 39 colors.

Volo

Volo is a structured wool fabric whose sophisticated weave gives it an elegant look. Despite its homely expression, Volo is also suitable for use in the contract sector. Volo is available in 17 colors.

Credo

Credo is a durable wool fabric made from high-quality worsted yarn with a pleasant feel. Credo has a heat-regulating effect and ensures a pleasant seating climate. The fabric can also be used in office environments. Credo is available in 22 colors.

Dumet

Dumet is a cotton blend fabric in plain weave with a lively appearance. Dumet has a soft and pleasantly cool feel. Dumet is available in 20 colors.

HAL RE Wood

The recycled plastic seat shell combined with the characteristic wooden legs of HAL RE Wood creates a homely look. The non-stackable solid wood base is available in natural oak or dark oak and optionally with a fixed seat cushion in Hopsak. The wooden shell gives HAL Ply Wood its own unique character. The shell and base are available in natural oak and dark oak and match the Vitra tables. For additional seating comfort, HAL RE Wood can be fitted with a fixed seat cushion in Hopsak and HAL Ply Wood with loose soft seats (type B + C) in various fabrics and leather.

HAL RE Studio

HAL RE Studio and HAL RE Armchair Studio have a seat shell made of recycled plastic and the base frame in basic dark is height-adjustable and swivel. The Studio chairs are suitable for short to medium-length sitting in the home office, in meetings, in touchdown areas or in workshop situations. The HAL RE Armchair Studio offers additional comfort thanks to its armrests. The base frame in basic dark on castors can be swiveled and is height-adjustable from 38 to 49.5 cm. HAL RE Studio and HAL RE Armchair Studio can be fitted with fixed seat cushions in Hopsak or loose Soft Seats. The loose Soft Seat cushion is available in 3 shapes (type A, B + C) in many fabrics and colors. HAL Ply Studio is also suitable for temporary use. The wooden shells in light oak or dark oak match the surfaces of the Vitra tables.

HAL RE Stool High & Medium

HAL RE Stools are available in two heights: the counter version HAL RE Stool medium and the barstool version HAL RE Stool High. The seat shells are made from recycled plastic or, in the case of HAL Ply, from plywood in two oak veneers. The base frame with integrated footrest is chrome-plated. The high stools have a seat height of 76 cm for table heights of approx. 110 cm and are available with seat shells made of recycled plastic and light or dark oak veneer wood. The medium stools with a seat height of 66 cm are suitable for counter workstations or kitchen counters with a height of approx. 90 cm. The plastic shells of the HAL RE Stools can be fitted with a fixed seat cushion and with the Soft Seats, loose seat cushions in many fabrics and colors are available for all barstools. The HAL Barstool is available with a shell made of recycled plastic or with a wooden shell. The shells can be rotated through 360° and the seat height can be adjusted from 66.5 to 76 cm. This makes the HAL RE Barstool and the HAL Ply Barstool suitable for bar tables and counters with a height of 90 to 110 cm. The HAL RE Barstool can be selected with a fixed seat cushion or – like the HAL Ply Barstool – with loose soft seats in a wide range of fabrics and colors.

HAL Ply Barstool

Thanks to its gas spring mechanism, the swivel HAL Ply Barstool offers height adjustment from 66.5 to 76 cm and the depth suspension provides additional comfort. The seat shell is made of high-quality wood veneer; the connecting tube, the footrest and the footplate with a brushed stainless steel cover plate are made of steel.

HAL Lounge Chair

The compact HAL Lounge Chair (2021) is Jasper Morrison’s reinterpretation of the soft, upholstered high-back armchair on four legs.
