Choosing a Kontea Waiting armchair for your space
Start with how the chair will be used. In a reception area where visitors may sit for different lengths of time, a high-back profile can create a more enveloping impression. For a more open setting, a low-back chair may keep sightlines clear and feel visually lighter. In a small waiting area, consider how the chair’s outline and base will sit alongside nearby desks, tables and circulation routes.
For meeting corners or casual conversation spaces, think about whether you want a consistent set of chairs or a mix of profiles. Using one back height can create a uniform look; combining high- and low-back models can help distinguish a lounge area from a more temporary visitor seat. Check the dimensions of the specific model before planning a layout.
How to compare the models
Back height and support features
The range includes low-back and high-back designs. Some high-back versions are listed with a headrest, while other models are described without one, so compare the individual product details rather than assuming the feature is standard across the family. The collection attributes also list lumbar support as an option on some selections; confirm whether it applies to the model you are considering.
Base and upholstery
Base styles include four-star, four-leg and disc-base designs. The model descriptions specify steel for some four-star bases, aluminium for a four-leg version, and stainless steel for the disc-base visitor chairs. These choices affect the chair’s appearance and how it relates to other furniture in the room. Upholstery attributes include fabric, upholstered finishes and PU leather, with listed colors such as beige, black, blue, brown, green, grey, pink, red and gold. Color and material availability can depend on the individual model, so use the product details to verify your preferred combination.
What to check before selecting
Confirm the exact back height, armrest configuration, headrest or lumbar-support details, upholstery material and color, and base finish for each chair. If you are furnishing several areas, compare the variants side by side and decide where a matching finish matters most. Also check the listed product specifications for load capacity and warranty details rather than assuming they are identical across every configuration.
