The Unix Chair is a real all-rounder for the office: it can be used as an office chair behind a desk, or a visitor’s chair in front of it, while the various designs also make it ideal for conferences and meetings, and it’s just as suitable for touchdown workstations as it is in waiting rooms too. Thanks to its construction and innovative padded mesh cover, the Unix Chair is incredibly comfortable. Its colour scheme also means that it looks just at home in functionally purist office environments as it does in cosy and homey work areas.
