The Hello collection introduces an updated seating family designed by Patricia Urquiola for Haworth. The redesign retains the original platform and interior frame from the 2002 release. Rounded forms replace the earlier profile to create a softer appearance. Concealed casters sit beneath a fabric skirt so each chair reads as lounge seating instead of a mobile office chair. The range includes lounge chairs and poufs that can be arranged across workplaces, hospitality settings, and collaborative interiors.

The pouf functions as an ottoman or a low seat with an optional back bolster. A nylon pull strap makes it easy to move between spaces. Optional accessories include a dual-pivot tablet arm, cupholder, and bag hook for added workplace functionality. The collection balances adaptable layouts with integrated features that support individual work, informal meetings, and shared environments.
