Where Kanu lounge armchairs work well
The Kanu family is a practical choice for areas that need a relaxed alternative to task chairs or formal conference seating. Use the armchairs in reception and waiting areas to create a welcoming first impression, or place them in office lounges and breakout zones for short conversations, reading and informal work.
They can also support meeting rooms where visitors need comfortable seating without a large visual footprint. Because the chairs have no armrests and a fixed 41 cm seat height, they are especially suitable for open arrangements where people need to move in and out easily and where consistent positioning matters.
How to choose between the four variants
Start with the frame and shell
Choose between the Kanu versions by looking first at the visible construction. The collection includes four-leg frames in wood, metal or steel, while selected models specify a plywood shell. If the room already contains warm timber details, a wooden frame can reinforce that material language. Black or grey metal and steel options can provide a more understated, structured appearance.
Check upholstery and colour requirements
Some Kanu options are listed without upholstery, while others include fabric upholstery with foam and a plywood back or shell. Fabric colours span neutral, dark and accent tones, including beige, black, blue, brown, green, grey, purple, red and white. Confirm the exact upholstery status and colour availability for the model you are considering rather than treating every finish as shared across the collection.
What to confirm before specifying
- Measure the available area around the 75 cm-wide chair, including the space needed for people to sit down and stand up.
- Confirm whether you need a non-upholstered version or a fabric-upholstered model.
- Review the listed frame material, base colour and upholstery colour against the interior scheme.
- Check the individual product page for the precise construction, finish combination and any available origin information.
- Consider the two-year warranty and the collection’s FSC certification information when comparing options.
Kanu models are fixed lounge armchairs rather than adjustable office chairs. That makes them easy to specify for consistent shared seating, but users who need lumbar support, a headrest or adjustable seat settings should look at a different product family. Myntwork offers Kusch + Co Kanu products on a monthly lease, allowing businesses to consider the collection as part of a flexible workplace furnishing plan.
