Choosing a Kontea chair for each setting
For a workstation or shared office desk, compare the two five-star-base task chairs. The high-back model is suited to people who prefer a taller back, while the low-back model offers a lower-profile alternative. Both have armrests, a synchronous mechanism and manual seat-height adjustment. Consider who will use the chair and whether the same setup needs to work for multiple people.
For a reception area, meeting room or visitor space, look at the fixed-base options. The Kontea X Visitor High Back Armchair combines a high back with a stainless-steel disc base. The Waiting Linear Visitor Stitching model also has a disc base and fixed armrests, with linear stitching as a visible design detail. These models have no mechanism, so choose them for visitor seating rather than when manual chair adjustment is a requirement.
Check the details that affect fit
Back, adjustments and armrests
Confirm the back height and adjustment needs before comparing finishes. The task models in this family offer manual seat-height adjustment and a synchronous mechanism; the visitor models are listed without a mechanism. Armrests are included across the described models, but the visitor chairs have fixed armrests. Collection attributes also list variation in seat-depth adjustment, lumbar support and headrest options. Check the individual model details rather than assuming these features apply to every Kontea chair.
Upholstery and base
Fabric appears in the descriptions of the four featured models, while the broader collection attributes also list PU leather. Listed upholstery colors include beige, black, blue, brown, green, grey, pink and red. Base color options shown for the family include black, silver and white; base materials listed include aluminium, metal and steel. The visitor descriptions specifically identify stainless-steel disc bases, so compare the model details to confirm its construction and available finish.
Plan the selection for your workplace
If you are furnishing several zones, map each chair to its intended use before deciding on a consistent upholstery color. Check the dimensions and available options in each product listing, especially when desk fit, seat adjustment or a matching finish matters. If you need a mix of task and visitor chairs, compare the models side by side to make sure their different bases and adjustment features suit each area.
