Choosing a Totem chair for your space
Start with the room and the tasks the chairs will support. Totem chairs can be considered for meeting rooms, collaborative tables, visitor areas and other shared settings where a non-adjustable chair fits the brief. For work that calls for frequent changes to seat height, back support or posture, note that these models do not offer those adjustments. The collection data also lists no armrests, lumbar support or headrest.
Think about how the chairs will sit alongside the table and how people move around it. An armless design can be a practical choice when you want a visually simple arrangement, but allow enough room for people to sit down and stand up comfortably. For a larger project, compare the planned chair count and finish requirements across each space before selecting a model.
Compare the wood and upholstered versions
Choose a wooden seat
The Totem Armless Wooden Chair has a wooden seat and armless construction. It is a direct option if you want the seat to remain in wood rather than add an upholstered surface. Consider how its finish relates to the wood base and the surrounding furniture.
Choose an upholstered seat
The Totem Upholstered Chair pairs a wood seat with Remix upholstery fabric. It gives you a fabric finish to coordinate with the room. The collection information lists several upholstery material and color categories, but do not assume that every color or material is offered on every model. Confirm the exact configuration before finalizing a specification.
Check specifications before you order
Review the selected model’s material, color and finish details, especially when matching chairs across multiple rooms. The collection data lists black and beige base colors, a maximum ballast of 135 kg, a two-year warranty and BS 5852 Crib 5 fire resistance. Verify that these details apply to the exact configuration you are considering.
The collection is marked as circular in the available product information. If circularity is important to your procurement criteria, ask for the relevant details for the selected chair rather than relying on the label alone. You can also check the product’s origin, which is listed as available on request.
Once you have compared the seat finishes and confirmed the specifications, check that the chosen chairs suit your room layout and intended use. Myntwork offers NORR11 Totem chairs on a monthly lease, which can be considered as part of your furniture planning.
