Choosing a Papilio chair for your workspace
The Papilio range is suited to offices that need task seating with a consistent family design but do not want every workstation to use exactly the same configuration. The high office chairs can support more enclosed, dedicated workstations, while the low-back upholstered model may suit desks where a lighter visual profile is preferred. The hygienic high-back option can be considered for workplaces where a seat cover is part of the brief.
For shared work areas, focus first on the adjustments that help different users find a comfortable working position. All listed models have adjustable seat height, and some include seat-depth adjustment. Where several people use the same chair, confirm whether the selected model includes the adjustment range and support options your team expects.
How the four models differ
Back construction and workplace appearance
The collection includes upholstered high-back and low-back chairs, a high-back mesh chair, and a high-back chair with a hygienic seat cover. Fabric upholstery is listed among the available materials, alongside PU leather, mesh and plastic options across the collection. Upholstery colours include black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, pink, purple and red, subject to the configuration of each model.
Support and armrest configuration
Lumbar support, headrests and armrests are shown as available options within the family, but they are not identical across all four chairs. Treat these as model-specific checks rather than assuming they are included. The same applies to seat-depth adjustment: it is available on some Papilio chairs and not on others.
What to check before leasing
- Confirm the working position: decide whether the user needs a high or low back, and whether a mesh or upholstered back best suits the space.
- Review adjustments: check seat height, seat depth, lumbar support, headrest and armrest requirements against the exact product configuration.
- Coordinate the finish: compare the available upholstery material and colour with the rest of the office, and note that bases are listed in black or silver.
- Check fit and capacity: the collection facts list a 71 cm width, a 42 cm seat-height figure and a maximum ballast of 135 kg. Confirm the relevant specification for the selected chair and workstation.
The collection is listed as circular and carries a two-year warranty. Myntwork offers Kusch + Co Papilio office chairs on a monthly lease, making it possible to plan seating as part of a broader workplace setup. Once you have selected the required back style and adjustments, compare the individual model details and request the configuration that matches your desks and users.
Frequently asked questions about Kusch + Co Office Chair Papilio
What is the difference between the Papilio high-back and low-back chairs?
The high-back models provide a taller upholstered or mesh back, while the low-back model has an upholstered back with a lighter profile. Choose according to the level of back coverage and visual presence required at each workstation.
Which Papilio office chairs have seat-depth adjustment?
Seat-depth adjustment is available on selected Papilio models rather than uniformly across the collection. Check the individual product specification before choosing chairs for users who need this adjustment.
Can I choose a Papilio chair with a mesh back?
Yes. The collection includes a high-back mesh Papilio swivel chair. The other listed models use upholstered or hygienic upholstered back and seat configurations, so compare the back construction carefully.
Are armrests, lumbar support and headrests included on every Papilio model?
No. The collection attributes show variation for armrests, lumbar support and headrests. Confirm which features belong to the exact model and configuration you are considering.
What upholstery and colour options are available?
The collection lists fabric, PU leather, mesh and plastic among its upholstery materials, with colours including black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, pink, purple and red. Availability can vary by model.
