Planning around daily seating needs
A shortlist for procurement leads should tie the brown base colour to a user need and whether a named standard is listed to the layout of a multi-purpose room. For a multi-purpose room, staff arranging a new workspace can begin with the brown base colour, then test whether a named standard is listed against the amount of space left for circulation during quiet individual tasks.
Fit the chairs to the room’s purpose
For a design studio project, keep whether a named standard is listed visible in the brief and check whether the brown base colour works with the mix of formal and informal use. When people responsible for shared seating assess a conference suite, they can record whether a named standard is listed and the brown base colour beside the requirements for planned reviews.
Questions to settle before selection
To make chairs: no named standard / brown-tone base useful in a project brief, describe who will use the chair, how the brown base colour answers a need, and how whether a named standard is listed affects the space. Start the comparison with the brown base colour. Then review whether a named standard is listed and make sure the room’s visual balance is covered in the a training area plan.
A closer look at the selected details
When people responsible for shared seating review chairs: no named standard / brown-tone base, they can start from the brown base colour, consider whether a named standard is listed, and test both against the ease of rearranging the room before settling a room arrangement. The room brief for a project room can record whether a named standard is listed, the brown base colour, and the furniture already in place together, giving the project team a concrete basis for comparison.
