What this article will help you decide

Who it is for

HR, labor protection, purchasing and employees who test furniture

Decision to make

create a short list of models depending on the duration of operation, user growth and intensity of use

Check before you choose

Do not approve a lot based on a photo: check the adjustments, fit, load capacity, materials and warranty of the specific model

What scenarios are there in the waiting area?

A short wait allows for a more compact landing. For long waits, you need back support, a table for things and distance between people. In the consultation area, the chair should move closer to the table without conflicting armrests.

The reception area of ​​a bank, a clinic, and a corporate office varies in terms of privacy and workload. Therefore, a universal set of identical chairs is rarely optimal.

How to make boarding accessible to different visitors?

Combine seats with and without armrests, different heights and firmness. Leave free space nearby and do not block the aisles with tables and plants.

Furniture should not block the path to the counter, door or emergency exit. The final arrangement is checked on the plan along with the queue.

What materials can withstand customer traffic?

Evaluate not only color, but also commercial wear resistance, cleanability, seams and element replacement. Light upholstery can work in a premium interior if maintenance regulations are provided.

For leather and polymer materials, use only products approved by the manufacturer; aggressive chemicals can damage the coating.

How to calculate the quantity and arrangement?

Consider the peak number of people waiting, the length of service, and the likelihood of attendants. Examples of client zones are available in PoMo projects, and suitable models are in the chair catalog.

Field testSit in each seat and check the navigation overview, distance to neighbors and route to the counter.
