Kusch + Co Armchair Palato

Armchairs for relaxed professional spaces

Palato armchairs are designed for settings where people need a comfortable place to sit, talk or wait. The collection suits office lounges, reception areas, meeting corners and other shared spaces that benefit from a softer alternative to task seating.

Both available models have fabric upholstery, fixed armrests and a four-leg base. They are non-adjustable lounge chairs rather than ergonomic desk chairs, making them a straightforward choice for relaxed seating layouts.

Choose between two Palato designs

The Palato 4LA is a four-leg upholstered armchair with fixed armrests and a more compact visual profile. The Palato 4LA HB adds a high back, giving the chair a more enveloping appearance for lounge and waiting areas.

Both models have a listed seat height of 45 cm and a width of 56 cm. Fabric colours include black, blue, brown, gold, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red and silver, while wooden base colours include black, grey, beige, brown, white and wood.

Where the Palato family works well

Use Palato armchairs to create comfortable, clearly defined seating within a professional interior. They can support informal conversations in an office lounge, provide a welcoming seat in a reception area or add a residential character to a breakout zone. The high-back version can also help create a stronger sense of privacy and presence without introducing a task-chair format.

Because the chairs have no mechanism or adjustable components, they are easiest to specify where users need consistent, ready-to-use seating rather than individual ergonomic adjustment. The fixed armrests provide a clear support point when sitting down or standing up, while the four-leg wooden base gives the collection a familiar lounge-chair profile.

How to choose between the models

Choose the standard Palato 4LA when

  • You want an upholstered lounge chair with a straightforward, open appearance.
  • The seating area needs a versatile chair for conversations, waiting or short informal meetings.
  • You are arranging several chairs and want the sightline to remain relatively light.

Choose the Palato 4LA HB when

  • A high-back silhouette better suits the atmosphere or proportions of the room.
  • You want a more enclosed-looking chair for reception, waiting or quiet lounge settings.
  • The chair should make a stronger visual statement within the seating arrangement.

Check the finish and layout requirements

Start by confirming the upholstery colour and how it works with the rest of the room. The available fabric palette ranges from neutral black, grey and brown through to blue, green, orange, pink, purple, red, gold and silver. Base options include black, grey, beige, brown, white and wood, so the frame can either blend in or provide contrast.

Allow for the fixed dimensions when planning the layout: the listed width is 56 cm and the seat height is 45 cm. Also consider armrest clearance, circulation around the chair and whether a standard or high-back profile is better suited to the room. The listed maximum ballast is 135 kg. Warranty is two years, circular status is listed as yes, and origin is available on request.
