A closer look at the selected details
Start the comparison with the wood base colour. Then review the plastic chair base material and make sure the furniture already in place is covered in the a flexible meeting zone plan. If a visitor room serves several purposes, assess the wood base colour alongside the plastic chair base material and consider how rotating users affects circulation.
What to review before choosing
For a boardroom, operations managers can begin with the wood base colour, then test the plastic chair base material against the balance between density and access during quiet individual tasks. Review the plastic chair base material from the user’s perspective, then confirm that the wood base colour and the room’s visual balance suit interviews in a central gathering space.
Planning a useful workplace layout
Before planning quiet individual tasks in a client-facing space, weigh the wood base colour against the plastic chair base material; the relationship between colour and adjacent finishes provides a practical test. Before planning team briefings in a busy shared workspace, weigh the wood base colour against the plastic chair base material; how the chair is approached provides a practical test.
Fit the chairs to the room’s purpose
The seating brief for a busy shared workspace should explain how the plastic chair base material and the wood base colour relate to the cleaning routine. When workshops takes place, clearance behind each chair can show whether the wood base colour and the plastic chair base material fit the intended seating plan.
Questions to settle before selection
Set out the purpose of a team hub, then assess the plastic chair base material and the wood base colour against the day-to-day demands of team briefings. In a boardroom, the plastic chair base material may answer one brief requirement while the wood base colour addresses another; compare both with the path between seating rows.
