Lounge & Guest Seating

Guest chairs come in different colours, heights, and designs. The type of seating you choose can reflect the organization’s style and aesthetics; therefore, you should consider your company’s brand image when making a choice. Other things to consider are the type of clients or visitors you will be hosting and the size of the space in which these chairs will be placed.

Questions like – Will my guests need to move the chair around? How many guests would I have at the same time? How many chairs can I fit in my space? How long would the guests be seated? –  should be answered.  

With those questions answered, some essential features you need to look for when choosing guest seating include:

Comfortability

Although guest seating is made for short-term use, they still need to be comfortable. A sturdy chair gives clients the impression that the company cares about their comfort and thus makes them appreciate the service they receive even more. For visitors, this experience can pique their interest in the organization.

Practicality

If your company receives a lot of guests simultaneously, the practical thing to do is to have nesting or stackable chairs so that there is sufficient seating for them. These nesting and stackable chairs are ideal for brief periods with many guests (periodic seminars or presentations), so there is ample seating when needed and ample space when not needed. They are also perfect for small spaces since they can be stored away easily after use.

Maintenance

Guest seating is one size fits all, so it’s crucial to opt for one whose durability is guaranteed. Since you will have different guests sit on the chairs, durable seating will save you from needing a replacement frequently. In the same vein, choosing a chair that requires fast and easy cleaning should be prioritized. Having to clean a chair every time a guest sits on it would get stressful.

Ultimately, the kind of organization and its guests should influence the type of finish and fabric the chairs would have.

When choosing guest seating for your office, checking off this list ensures that your visitors and clients have a pleasant sitting experience.

When searching for an office lounge chair, you may find many to pick from because they come in different styles, shapes, heights, and colours. Some are also available with extra add-ons such as cupholders and laptop arms. These options can make the decision-making process overwhelming and longer than expected.

When buying a lounge chair, you should consider four features to make the process easier.

Feel

Lounge seating should be comfortable and relaxing to sit on while also providing support. The cushioning should not be too soft that you will sink into it, nor too hard that sitting on it hurts.

Colour

It is essential to choose a lounge chair that complements the space. Asides from completing the area, the colours of the chair can also impact how comfortable people feel, which can affect their creativity, efficiency, and productivity.

Quality

The quality of the lounge seating will determine how comfortable it will be. Likewise, this quality will also determine the chair’s durability and the type of warranty coverage offered. A budget-friendly option is always to buy the highest quality possible.

Backrest

The backrest should be able to provide support even if it is a high or low back. Low-back lounge chairs are appropriate for sitting and conversing, and those with high-back chairs are perfect for resting and reclining.

By combining different styles, you can exude a more dynamic vibe when designing a versatile workspace with lounge chairs.
