Where the Kristalia Compas family can work
These chairs are designed for settings where visitors or colleagues need a place to sit without the controls of an adjustable task chair. Consider them for meeting rooms, reception and waiting areas, or shared spaces that need occasional seating. The visitor model’s unupholstered construction may suit teams seeking a simple, pared-back chair; the upholstered model can be a better fit when a fabric-covered seat is preferred.
Because both models have fixed armrests and no adjustment mechanism, think about how people will use the space before choosing. For long work sessions or desks that require a specific seat position, a chair with adjustment features may be more suitable. Compas is most relevant when the priority is visitor or shared seating with a consistent family appearance.
How to choose between the models
Decide whether upholstery is needed
Start with the surface and feel your space requires. The Compas Visitor Chair has no upholstery, while the Compas 20CMS01 is upholstered. Collection attributes list fabric and leather among the upholstery materials, and beige, black, grey and white among upholstery colors. The upholstered model excerpt specifies Merit fabric; verify the individual listing for the precise material and finish offered for the model you are considering.
Coordinate materials and finishes
Polypropylene and aluminium appear across the family, with PA6 also specified for the upholstered chair. The base material attributes include plastic and aluminium, and listed base colors include black, grey, brown and silver. Use these options to coordinate with nearby furniture, but confirm the available combination on the model details rather than assuming every color is offered on every chair.
Check fit and requirements before specifying
The collection lists a width of 55 cm and a maximum load of 135 kg, with a two-year warranty. Review the dimensions document and model information when planning a room layout, especially where chairs need to fit around a table or within a defined circulation area. Confirm that the fixed-arm design and non-adjustable seat meet the needs of the people who will use the space.
For a multi-chair project, compare the required upholstery, base finish and intended use across the models so the selection is consistent with your brief. Myntwork offers Kristalia Compas chairs on a monthly lease. Before proceeding, check the listing for current model-specific details and the available catalogue and dimensions documents.
