Assessing the selected chair features
To assess chairs: fixed height / black-tone base, describe the room’s purpose, who uses it, and how a fixed seat-height specification relates to the black base colour. When team briefings takes place, the path between seating rows can show whether the black base colour and a fixed seat-height specification fit the intended seating plan.
Making the seating plan practical
A shortlist for workplace planners should tie a fixed seat-height specification to a user need and the black base colour to the layout of a client-facing space. Start the comparison with a fixed seat-height specification. Then review the black base colour and make sure the mix of formal and informal use is covered in the a collaborative workspace plan.
Compare the chair with its setting
A shortlist for team coordinators should tie the black base colour to a user need and a fixed seat-height specification to the layout of a break-out area. For a seminar space project, keep a fixed seat-height specification visible in the brief and check whether the black base colour works with the number of users who share the space.
How the seating will be used
For a design studio project, keep a fixed seat-height specification visible in the brief and check whether the black base colour works with table alignment. With visitor conversations in mind, ask whether the black base colour and a fixed seat-height specification suit the users, then check that the planned chairs leave a workable route through a quiet planning room.
Reviewing the chair specification
A useful note for people responsible for shared seating links a fixed seat-height specification to the black base colour and records how the mix of formal and informal use affects a collaborative workspace. Start the comparison with the black base colour. Then review a fixed seat-height specification and make sure the furniture already in place is covered in the a break-out area plan.
