Where RIM TEA chairs can work
The TEA family can be considered for individual desks, shared workstations or office areas where visitors and staff need swivel seating. Its two listed models share an upholstered fabric look, armrests and a silver aluminum base, making it possible to compare the options within one family when planning a consistent scheme. For projects requiring a particular color, verify availability for the chosen model before specifying multiple chairs.
These chairs may also be considered for meeting or collaborative areas, provided their listed features suit the way the space is used. Since the collection does not list adjustable seat or back height, seat-depth adjustment, lumbar support or a headrest, think about the needs of the people who will use the chairs and whether those functions are essential for your setting.
How to choose between TE1303 and TE1301
Start with the product configuration
Compare the RIM Tea Swivel Chair TE1303 with the RIM Tea Swivel Office Chair TE1301 using their individual product information. Both descriptions specify an upholstered swivel chair with armrests and an aluminum base. The TE1303 description identifies the base as polished aluminum, while the collection lists the base color as silver. Check the detailed listing to confirm the exact finish and fabric choices for each model.
Match the fabric and practical requirements
Choose a listed fabric color that works with your office palette and consider how the chair will be used day to day. The collection lists a maximum load of 135 kg and a two-year warranty. Fire-resistance classifications shown for the family include BS 5852 Crib 5, BS 7176 Low Hazard, BS 7176 Medium Hazard, EN 1021-1 and EN 1021-2. Confirm the applicable classification for the specific chair and upholstery configuration with the product details before purchase or specification.
What to check before specifying
For a single chair or a multi-seat project, confirm the model code, selected fabric color, base finish and relevant fire-resistance information. Check that the chair’s non-adjustable design is appropriate for its intended users and that its stated maximum load meets your requirements. The collection is marked as circular, but consult the product information for what that means for the particular model. Origin information is available on request.
Myntwork offers RIM TEA chairs on a monthly lease, which can be considered when planning workplace furniture. Review the details for each model and confirm your requirements before selecting the collection for your space.
