Boss Design Kato Armchair

A lounge chair for considered interiors

Katō is a small collection of Boss Design lounge armchairs suited to spaces where a relaxed seat and a defined timber frame belong in the same setting. Consider the range for reception areas, breakout spaces, meeting rooms or hospitality interiors, and compare the two frame options against the finishes and furniture already in your scheme.

Both models have fixed armrests and fabric upholstery. The collection is not designed for adjustment: seat height, back height and seat depth are not adjustable, and there is no headrest or lumbar support.

Compare the oak and walnut frames

The two models are the KAT/1/OAK, with an oak frame, and the KAT/1/ABW, with an American black walnut frame. Each pairs its wood frame with an upholstered seat, giving you a straightforward choice between two distinct timber looks.

Fabric upholstery is listed in a range of colours, including beige, blue, green, grey and other options. Check the available upholstery selection for the specific model when coordinating a palette or specifying multiple chairs.

Where Katō can work

A lounge armchair can help create a more informal place to sit without requiring an adjustable task-chair setup. Katō may suit reception and waiting areas, collaborative zones, quiet corners or hospitality spaces where guests and colleagues need a comfortable place for a conversation or a pause. Its fixed armrests and upholstered seat make it a considered choice for planned seating layouts rather than a chair intended to adapt to different desk tasks.

For a coordinated interior, compare the frame colour with nearby tables, flooring and other wood finishes. The oak version offers a different visual effect from American black walnut; choose the one that complements the scheme rather than assuming the two finishes will match other furniture exactly.

How to choose between the models

Start with the frame

Choose the KAT/1/OAK if an oak frame best suits the room, or the KAT/1/ABW if you prefer American black walnut. The collection facts list a 50 cm width for the chairs, so use that measurement when planning clearances and arranging seating. The listed maximum load is 135 kg. Check the dimensions PDF for further measurements before confirming a layout, particularly where access or spacing is tight.

Then select the upholstery

Fabric upholstery is available in listed colours that include beige, black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, purple, red and yellow. Camira is also listed among the upholstery attributes. Confirm which fabrics and colours can be specified for the chosen model, and consider how the colour will work with the room’s other finishes. The collection information lists BS 5852 Crib 5 fire resistance, along with a Declare Label and FSC certification; check the relevant product details when these points are part of your project specification.

Checks before specifying

Confirm the exact model, frame and upholstery selection, then review the dimensions PDF and the available product details. Katō has fixed armrests and no adjustable seat height, back height or depth, so consider whether those features suit the intended users and setting. The listed warranty is two years. Origin is available on request, and circularity is indicated in the collection attributes.

Myntwork offers Boss Design Katō armchairs on a monthly lease. If you are planning several seats, decide on a consistent frame and fabric palette first, then confirm the model-specific options and measurements before arranging your furniture plan.
