Where Gaber Akami chairs work well
Use the Akami family wherever a dependable task chair needs to support changing work patterns. Upholstered versions can bring a softer, more finished feel to dedicated desks, private offices and meeting spaces. Polypropylene-shell models are a practical fit for shared work areas, touchdown desks and rooms where a simpler chair profile is preferred.
The model with casters and armrests can suit workstations where users need to move the chair in and out regularly. Armless versions may be easier to place around tables or in tighter layouts, while armrest models provide a more defined seating position.
How to choose within the Akami family
Start with the seat and shell
Choose fabric upholstery when the brief calls for a padded, upholstered appearance. The available upholstery colour range includes beige, black, blue, brown, gold, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red and white. Select a polypropylene option when you prefer a non-upholstered shell and a more visually streamlined finish.
Check armrests and mobility
Armrests are not included on every Akami model, so confirm this detail before selecting a configuration. If the chair needs to move frequently around a workstation, check the model specified with casters. For a more open relationship with a desk or table, an armless version may be the better fit.
Match the base and working height
The five-star aluminium base is offered in several colours, including black, grey, silver and white. Compare the listed seat-height range with the desks and work surfaces in your project: Akami models provide manual adjustment, with minimum heights of 42 or 43 cm and maximum heights of 53 or 54 cm.
What to check before specifying
Review the individual model details for upholstery, armrests, casters, base colour and certification. GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold certifications appear within the family, while Low VOC certification and Fire Retardant Class 1 IM are listed among the available collection attributes; confirm which applies to the chair you select.
The collection lists a maximum ballast of 135 kg, a two-year warranty and circular design information. Downloadable catalogues, user manuals and colour and materials documents can help your team confirm the final configuration. Myntwork offers Gaber Akami products on a monthly lease, making it possible to plan seating as part of a wider workplace furnishing requirement.
Frequently asked questions about Gaber Office Chair Akami
What is the main difference between the Gaber Akami office chair models?
The models differ mainly in upholstery, shell material, armrests and mobility. The family includes upholstered chairs, polypropylene-shell chairs, armrest and armless versions, plus a model specified with casters.
Are all Gaber Akami chairs height adjustable?
Yes. The collection is specified with manual seat-height adjustment. Listed minimum seat heights are 42 or 43 cm, and listed maximum heights are 53 or 54 cm, depending on the model.
Should I choose an upholstered or polypropylene Akami chair?
Choose fabric upholstery if you want a softer, more finished task chair for offices or meeting areas. A polypropylene shell may suit shared workspaces, touchdown areas or projects that call for a simpler non-upholstered option.
Do Gaber Akami chairs have armrests and casters?
Armrests are available on selected models rather than across the entire family. Casters are specified for the Akami T5RB swivel chair, so check the individual product configuration when mobility is important.

Certification varies by model. GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold are represented in the collection, while Low VOC certification and Fire Retardant Class 1 IM are listed attributes. Confirm the applicable details before ordering.
