HOWE AS100 Conference Chair

Choose AS100 for meeting and visitor spaces

HOWE AS100 is a two-model chair family by designer David Rowland, suited to conference rooms and visitor areas. The collection offers a choice between an armchair with a swivel base and a four-leg side chair that stacks. That makes it possible to select a seating style around how each space is used, rather than treating every room as if it needs the same chair.

Both models have a fixed seat height and no adjustment mechanism. Consider the set-up and expected use of the room when deciding whether either chair fits your requirements.

How the two AS100 chairs differ

The AS100 Armchair Conference Chair has armrests and a steel base. Its upholstery options include fabric, leather and PU leather. It is the model to compare when you want an upholstered swivel chair with arms.

The AS100 Side Chair has a four-leg frame and is stackable, making it a distinct option for rooms where chairs may need to be rearranged or stored. Compare its listed dimensions and materials with the armchair before specifying the family across multiple spaces.

Match the chair to the room

Start with the way people use each space. For a conference room where attendees sit around a table, consider whether the swivel armchair or the side chair better suits the room layout and seating plan. The armchair has armrests and upholstery, while the side chair has four legs and can be stacked. In visitor areas or shared rooms, stacking may be useful when chairs need to be moved or put away between uses.

If you are furnishing several room types, you do not have to choose one model for every setting. Compare the two chairs by function, available space and how the seating needs to look alongside the rest of the room.

Compare dimensions and practical details

Check the listed dimensions against your floor plan and table height before selecting a model. The family information lists widths of 61 cm for the armchair and 49 cm for the side chair, with a seat depth of 44 cm and seat height of 46 cm. Confirm the relevant model details on its dimensions sheet, especially when planning chair clearances or a close-fitting conference layout. The listed maximum load for the family is 135 kg.

Neither chair has adjustable seat height, seat depth or back height, and the family has no lumbar support or headrest. If adjustability is essential for your users, take this into account before choosing between the AS100 models.

Review materials and finishes

For the armchair, upholstery choices include fabric, leather and PU leather, with listed upholstery colors including beige, black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, pink and red. Family-level base material options include steel, plastic and wood; base colors listed are black, grey and silver. Check the product-specific colors and materials information to confirm which choices apply to the model you are considering. The side chair listing also identifies polyamide as a material.

What to check before specifying

Compare the catalogue and dimensions PDFs, then review the colors and materials information for the finish you need. An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is available for the collection. Warranty information lists two years. If you are planning a project with several rooms, confirm model quantities, dimensions and finish selections together so the specification works as a whole.

Myntwork offers HOWE AS100 chairs on a monthly lease. Review the two models and their available documentation to decide which option fits each space.
