Choosing a Krokus armchair for your space
Think first about the chair’s role. For a reception area or waiting space, a fixed-base model can create a consistent, composed seating arrangement. In a lounge or informal conversation area, a swivel chair can make it easier for visitors to turn toward one another. If the seating needs to be repositioned regularly, consider how the chosen base will work with the room layout and surrounding furniture.
For an office meeting nook, consider whether users benefit from a chair that turns or from a stable, fixed position. Armrests can help define a more relaxed seat, while models without a height-adjustment mechanism keep the choice straightforward. If height adjustment is important, the family includes a four-star base option with manual adjustment; verify that feature on the specific model before ordering.
Compare base styles and upholstery
Krokus models are offered with different base constructions, including four-leg frames, four-star bases and disc bases. Materials and finishes in the collection include metal, steel and aluminium, with examples such as chrome-plated steel, polished aluminium and stainless steel. Some disc bases have a satin finish. These differences affect the chair’s appearance, so compare the specific base and finish as well as the seat design.
Upholstery choices listed for the family include fabric and PU leather, and the color range spans neutrals and brighter shades. Planet fabric is specified on several models. Two-tone versions provide a contrasting upholstery look, while single-color options can make it easier to coordinate a group of chairs. Confirm the available upholstery and color for each model rather than assuming every finish is offered across the collection.
What to check before selecting a model
- Movement: Choose fixed or swivel according to how people will use the seating area.
- Adjustment: Check whether a manual height-adjustable model is needed; adjustment is not included on every chair.
- Base and finish: Match the base style and metal finish to the room and its other furniture.
- Upholstery: Confirm the material, color and whether the selected model is two-tone.
- Dimensions and capacity: Review the individual model details for fit and any stated load limit. The listed 135 kg maximum applies to a specific four-leg upholstered model, not necessarily the whole family.
Once the preferred configuration is clear, compare the individual Krokus models and verify their specifications before placing them in a project. Myntwork offers these products on a monthly lease, which can be considered when planning furniture for a changing office or shared environment.
