How to choose a Leyform Reef armchair
Start with how the chair will be used and where it will sit. In a reception or waiting area, consider whether a swivel seat is useful for turning toward visitors or nearby seating. For a more fixed arrangement, the four-leg Reef 1996 may be a better fit. In shared workspaces, think about how chairs will be positioned around tables and how people move through the area.
Compare swivel and four-leg designs
The Reef 1988 provides swivel functionality and is the model to consider if rotation matters to your layout. Its armrests are listed as either present or absent, so check the selected configuration before specifying it. The stated maximum load for this model is 135 kg. The Reef 1996 instead has a four-leg, chrome-plated steel frame. Choose based on the movement and visual character needed; do not assume the two models share the same base or armrest configuration.
Review upholstery and color choices
Upholstery is a key part of how a lounge chair fits an interior. The collection information lists Serie 200 and other upholstery classifications, alongside colors including beige, black, blue, brown, gold, green, grey, orange, purple, red and white. Base colors are also listed across the collection, including black, grey, beige, blue, green, red, silver and white. Options may differ by model, so confirm the available combinations for the specific chair before completing a specification.
Metal and steel are listed as base materials for the family, while the Reef 1996 is specifically described with a chrome-plated steel four-leg frame. If the exact frame finish or upholstery category matters to your project, use the individual model details to verify it rather than relying on collection-wide options.
Check the details before specifying
These chairs are not listed with adjustable seat height, back height or seat depth, so consider whether a fixed seating position suits the people and activities in your space. The collection information lists a two-year warranty and circularity as yes. Origin is available on request, and no standards are specified in the supplied details.
Before choosing, confirm the model, armrest configuration where applicable, upholstery, color and frame details. Myntwork offers Leyform Reef armchairs on a monthly lease, which can be considered when planning furniture for a workplace. Compare the two models against your layout and requirements, then check the selected product configuration for the details that matter to your project.
