HOWE 40/4 Conference Chair

One chair family for changing spaces

HOWE 40/4 is a collection of side chairs for workplaces that need seating across meeting, visitor and multipurpose settings. Designed by David Rowland, its 11 listed models offer different ways to furnish a room, from a stackable four-leg chair to swivel options and a sled-base design.

The range can help create a consistent look across spaces while letting you choose a configuration suited to each use. Compare the individual models to check their base, seat and upholstery details.

Compare bases and seat finishes

Start by considering how the chair will be used. The family includes a stackable four-leg model, four-leg and sled-base upholstered chairs, and swivel designs. Some swivel versions include castors; others are described with different base and seat combinations.

Seat choices across the collection include polyamide, polypropylene, oak veneer and upholstered options. Fabric and other upholstery materials are available on selected models. Check each listing for the precise finish and construction before choosing.

Match the chair to the room

For meeting rooms that need seating to be rearranged or put away, consider the four-leg stackable model. It gives you a straightforward side-chair format, while its stackable design may suit spaces that serve more than one purpose. Check the product details for the configuration and stacking information relevant to your setup.

For visitor areas or rooms where chairs stay in place, compare the upholstered four-leg and sled-base options. Swivel models provide another format for meeting settings, with selected versions listed with castors. Think about how people enter, sit down and move around the room, then choose a base and seat combination that fits those routines.

How to choose among the models

Choose the base and movement first

Decide whether a stationary four-leg or sled-base chair, a stackable model, or a swivel chair is the right starting point. If you want castors, confirm that the specific swivel model includes them; the collection includes swivel chairs both with and without castors in their descriptions. The listed chairs do not have adjustable seat height, back height or seat depth, so compare dimensions before planning a layout.

Then compare seat materials

Choose a finish based on the look and feel you want in the room. The range includes plastic seat options such as polyamide and polypropylene, an oak veneer seat, and several upholstered configurations. Upholstery details differ by model: some listings specify Remix fabric, while others describe an upholstered seat or full upholstery. Review the product listing and the available colors and materials information to confirm what applies to your selection.

Check the configuration details

Armrest availability, base materials and finishes can differ within the family. If these details matter to your project, verify them for each chair rather than assuming they are shared across all 40/4 models. The collection also has an Environmental Product Declaration available; consult the relevant product information to see which documentation applies.

Before you finalize a selection

  • Compare the dimensions and seat height shown for each model with your room plan and intended use.
  • Confirm the seat material, upholstery, base, castors and armrest configuration on the individual product page.
  • For larger projects, use the available catalogue, dimensions and colors and materials documents to review specifications across your chosen models.

Myntwork offers HOWE 40/4 chairs on a monthly lease. Once you have narrowed down the base and finish, review the individual listings to confirm the details that best fit your space.
