HOWE Side Chair MN1

Meeting and visitor seating for shared spaces

Designed by Morten Nikolajsen, the HOWE MN1 Side Chair family offers a coordinated set of chairs for meeting rooms, visitor areas and multipurpose settings. The five models share a straightforward side-chair format while offering different frame and upholstery combinations, so you can select a style suited to the room rather than treating every seating need the same way.

Use the collection to furnish a single meeting space or to compare seating options across several shared areas. Mesh and fabric upholstery are represented in the family, alongside metal frames in cantilever, X-base and five-star designs.

Compare frame styles and adjustment

The cantilever models are available with mesh or fabric upholstery. The X-base options include a mesh-back chair and a fully upholstered model, while the five-star model combines mesh with manual height adjustment. The upholstered X-base model also has manual seat-height adjustment; other models may have no adjustment mechanism.

Start by deciding which frame and upholstery combination fits your space, then check the selected model’s dimensions and available finishes. Features and options vary across the family.

How to choose an MN1 chair

Begin with the setting. For a meeting room where chairs may be moved or repositioned, compare the cantilever, X-base and five-star designs in relation to the room layout. Cantilever models have a distinct frame style and come in mesh or fabric upholstery. The X-base range gives you a choice between a mesh back and an upholstered option. The five-star mesh chair is another alternative, with manual height adjustment.

Next, consider how the chair will be used. If adjustable seat height is important, focus on the five-star mesh model and the upholstered X-base model, which are identified with manual height adjustment. If you do not need this feature, compare the other frame and upholstery options instead. Check the individual model details before specifying: the family includes both adjustable and non-adjustable chairs, and the available features are not identical across all five models.

Mesh, fabric and finishes

Mesh is offered on the five-star, cantilever and X-base models; fabric upholstery is available on the upholstered cantilever and X-base chairs. The product information also identifies Remix fabric on selected models. Color options listed for the family include beige, black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, pink and red upholstery, with black, beige and silver base colors. These are collection-level options, not a guarantee that every color is available on every model.

When comparing finishes, confirm the upholstery and base color for the exact chair you are considering. If you are coordinating several chairs, review the color and materials information together with the dimensions so the selected combination works for the space and the rest of the room.

What to check before choosing

Review the dimensions for the specific model, especially if the chairs need to fit around a table or within a defined circulation area. Seat height varies across the collection, and the seat-height range depends on the model. Also check whether you need a mesh back, fabric upholstery, a particular base style or manual adjustment. These details help narrow the family to the models that suit your project.

HOWE MN1 chairs are available through Myntwork on a monthly lease. Compare the model information and available materials before selecting a configuration, and use the catalogue and dimensions documents to support your review.
