Choosing a Metropolitan chair for your space
Start with the room and the role the chair needs to fill. For a visitor area or reception, consider how the chair will sit alongside your other furniture and whether a four-star base or a solid disc base better suits the look of the space. In an executive office, think about how the chair will be used: for a stationary seating position, or for turning and adjusting position during conversations.
The family’s listed widths are 61 or 63 cm, depending on the model. Because width and other dimensions can affect clearances around desks, tables and walkways, check the dimensions PDF and the selected product listing before planning a layout.
Understand the differences between models
- C8070AB: a high-back armchair with an aluminum four-star base and free-floating tilt mechanism.
- C8070AV: a high-back pedestal lounge chair with a steel disc base.
- C8072B: an upholstered armchair with a polished aluminum four-spoke base and swivel function.
- C8071B: an upholstered swivel armchair with a four-star aluminum base.
All four have fixed armrests. If swivel movement matters, compare the two models specifically described as swivel chairs. If you prefer a tilt mechanism, C8070AB is the model in this family listed with free-floating tilt. For a disc-base design, consider C8070AV.
Check finishes and product details
Upholstery is listed as upholstered, with Category 2 shown as an upholstery attribute. The family’s listed upholstery colors span neutrals and brighter shades; base colors are also listed in several options. Confirm the choices offered for the exact model you are considering rather than assuming every color or finish applies to every chair.
Fire-resistance attributes listed for the family include BS 5852 Crib 5, CAL TB117-2013 and Fire Retardant Class 1 IM. Review the selected product details for applicable specifications, dimensions and available finishes. The listed maximum load is 135 kg, and the warranty is two years.
Plan the next step
Once you have chosen a base style and movement type, compare the model dimensions against your floor plan and select upholstery and base colors that work with the rest of the room. Myntwork offers these products on a monthly lease, so you can also consider leasing when planning furniture for an office or visitor area.
