Narbutas SANDIE Armchair

Comfortable lounge seating for shared spaces

SANDIE is a family of Narbutas lounge chairs for settings where people can pause, talk or wait. Its armchairs can suit office lounges, reception areas and informal meeting spaces, whether you are furnishing one quiet corner or arranging seating across a larger workplace.

Fixed armrests are a recurring feature across the family. Upholstered seats and backs give the chairs a softer look than task seating, while the range of upholstery colors makes it possible to coordinate a selection with an existing interior.

Compare back height and frame character

Start by choosing between low- and high-back models. Low-back designs keep the seating visually open and may work well in compact groupings; high-back options create a more enclosing silhouette. The collection also includes upholstered-frame and wooden-frame variants, as well as versions with polished aluminium or other metal elements.

Details vary by model: upholstery materials include fabric, leather and PU leather, and some listed versions specify Berta fabric. Check each chair’s product details to confirm its exact finish, base and seat-height adjustment before selecting a coordinated group.

Where SANDIE armchairs can work

Use the SANDIE family to create an informal seating area without relying on a single chair configuration throughout the space. Low-back chairs can help keep sightlines open in reception areas or shared lounges, while high-back versions can give a smaller seating nook a more defined feel. A mix may also help distinguish zones, provided the finishes and proportions work together in the room.

For a meeting or conversation area, consider how many chairs fit around the available floor space and how easily people can move between them. Fixed armrests are part of the collection, so allow enough clearance for users to sit down and stand up comfortably. For reception seating, compare the chair’s overall scale with nearby desks, tables and circulation paths rather than choosing by appearance alone.

How to choose between the models

Choose a back style for the setting

Compare low- and high-back silhouettes in relation to the room. A low back can feel less visually dominant in an open-plan layout. A high back can help make a lounge chair feel more substantial in a dedicated waiting or relaxation area. Think about whether you want the chairs to blend into a shared space or provide a more noticeable seating feature.

Match the frame and base to your interior

The range includes wooden-frame models and options featuring polished aluminium, along with metal and steel base materials in the collection. Look at the exact combination on each model: a wooden frame and an aluminium base, for example, create a different overall impression from an upholstered chair with a polished metal frame. Use the listed base colors and upholstery colors to coordinate with adjacent furniture, flooring and finishes.

Check upholstery and seat-height details

Available upholstery materials across the family include fabric, leather and PU leather; Berta upholstery is identified on some models. Confirm the precise upholstery and color for the chair you are considering rather than assuming every finish applies to every frame. Collection data lists seat heights of 41 or 43 cm, and an adjustable-seat-height option is present on one listed version. If seat height is important for a particular table or user group, verify the selected model’s specification before ordering.

What to confirm before selecting

Make a shortlist based on back height, frame and base combination, upholstery, color and seat-height requirements. Then check the individual product details for the exact configuration and dimensions, and consider how many chairs the space can accommodate without obstructing access. If you are furnishing several areas, compare the specifications side by side so that any differences in finish or height are intentional.

Frequently asked questions about Narbutas SANDIE Armchair

What is the difference between low-back and high-back SANDIE armchairs?

The main visible difference is the height of the upholstered back. Low-back models have a more open silhouette, while high-back models create a taller, more enclosing profile. Choose according to the room’s layout and the look you want.

Do all SANDIE armchairs have the same frame and base?

No. The collection includes wooden-frame options and models with polished aluminium or other metal elements. Check the individual product details to confirm the frame and base combination for the version you select.

Which upholstery materials and colors are available?

Collection-level options include fabric, leather and PU leather, with a range of listed upholstery colors. Berta upholstery is specified for some models. Availability depends on the individual chair, so confirm its product details.

Are SANDIE armchairs height adjustable?

Most listed versions do not specify adjustable seat height, but an adjustable-seat-height option appears for one model. Check the specification of your chosen chair if adjustment is required.

What should I compare when selecting SANDIE chairs for a shared area?

Compare back height, frame and base materials, upholstery and color, then check the selected model’s dimensions and seat-height details. Also allow enough space around the fixed armrests for people to sit and move comfortably.
