Waiting room chairs

Guest chairs for the office waiting room

In client-facing waiting rooms, the guest chairs of the executive office carry the same design language through to the entrance. Max has a low back, a base on glides and an automatic return mechanism that brings the seat back into position when the guest stands up; it is upholstered in leather or fabric, with padded armrests or aluminum armrests with fabric-covered arm pads. Key has a one-piece shell with horizontal stitching in leather, eco-leather or fabric, a polished or black aluminum frame and steel rod armrests, or no armrests.

The EM 204 visitor chair has aluminum armrests that wrap around the shell, a swivel version with automatic return or a sled frame in chrome, white or black, and upholstery in fabric, eco-leather or leather. For a warmer look, the Lash chair by Monica Armani has a frame in natural oak, black-stained oak or terracotta lacquer, with armrests and a fabric or leather seat.

Stackable and polypropylene waiting room chairs

When a waiting room changes use during the day, or has to seat more people at certain times, stackable chairs clear the floor quickly. Noma stacks up to 12 chairs without armrests and 9 with armrests, has a steel rod frame in chrome or painted white or black, and comes in polypropylene, with an elastic mesh back, or fully upholstered in fabric or eco-leather, the version suited to longer waits.

The Yo Plastic chair by Progetto CMR has a polypropylene shell in 8 colors, a 100% recycled black version and a fully fire-retardant version in Grigio Ghiaia, with an optional fabric seat cushion. It comes on four legs, on a steel rod sled base or on swivel bases, and belongs to the Yo collection, which uses the same shell for its beam seating.

Beam seating and benches for the waiting room

In busy waiting areas, beam seating keeps the seats aligned, leaves more of the floor free and is quick to clean. Yo Plastic Bench has 2 to 5 seats with polypropylene shells, also recycled or fire-retardant, a fabric or eco-leather cushion, a black painted steel beam and inverted V legs in black recycled and recyclable plastic. Yo Upholstered & Strip Bench is the fully upholstered version in fabric or eco-leather; Strip has horizontal stitching and a cover that zips off. Both can take a 40 × 40 cm table fixed to the beam.

For public facilities and high-traffic areas, Kone is all metal, with 2 to 5 seats, a seat and back in curved, partly perforated steel sheet, a scratch-resistant finish and adjustable feet for uneven floors. Polished aluminum armrests, padded cushions and a shelf between two seats are available on request. For modular upholstered seating, see the waiting room benches.

Chairs, lounge chairs and sofas: completing the waiting room

Waiting room chairs work well alongside softer seating: office lounge chairs and office sofas create a more relaxed corner for longer waits, while office coffee tables keep magazines and documents within reach. To plan the whole space, from the seating layout to the accessories, see the page on waiting room furniture.

Each product page provides the technical data sheet and 2D and 3D CAD files, so Frezza waiting room chairs can be dropped straight into the project drawings to check footprints and clearances.
