Where Northern Gem chairs fit best
Use the narrower Gem chair when you want to add individual seats without taking up too much floor width. At 75 cm wide, it can work beside occasional tables, in a reception setting or as part of a small conversation area. Its lack of armrests also makes the silhouette feel more open and can simplify placement alongside other furniture.
The 105 cm Gem chair with fixed armrests is better suited to layouts that call for a broader, more defined lounge seat. It can help anchor a waiting area, reading corner or informal meeting zone. Because neither model has a mechanism or adjustable components, these chairs are intended for straightforward lounge use rather than desk-based work.
How to choose between the two models
Start with available space
Measure the intended position before selecting a model. Allow enough clearance for people to approach and leave the chair, and consider the space occupied by nearby tables, sofas or circulation routes. The standard version is 75 cm wide; the armrest version is 105 cm wide, so the difference is significant when planning a group of seats.
Choose the level of enclosure you need
Select the model without armrests for a lighter, more flexible arrangement or when chairs need to sit close to other furniture. Choose the armrest version when fixed armrests are part of the desired seating experience and the room can accommodate its greater width. Both share the same fixed seat depth and seat height listed for the collection.
Materials, colours and practical checks
Every Gem model in this group has fabric upholstery and a wood base. Upholstery colours range from neutral beige, black, brown and grey to blue, green, orange, purple, red and yellow. Base colours are black and beige. Use these options to coordinate with an existing interior or to distinguish separate seating zones.
The collection is listed as circular and has a two-year warranty. The maximum ballast is listed as 135 kg, while standards are not specified and origin is available on request. Before ordering, confirm the preferred width, upholstery colour, base colour and the available product documentation, including the catalogue or user manual where relevant.
Planning your lease
Myntwork offers Northern Gem products on a monthly lease, making it possible to plan lounge seating as part of a wider workplace furnishing requirement. Compare the two widths against your floor plan, then request the configuration and documentation needed for your project.
