Eames-Style Chairs

Offer a sleek, modern aesthetic for events, dining areas, breakout zones, and contemporary venues. Crafted with a lightweight, stackable, moulded polypropylene shell, they are incredibly easy to wipe clean and maintain, making them a practical yet stylish choice available in multiple colours.

Eames Eiffel Armchairs

These stackable, powder-coated steel chairs offer exceptional durability and weather resistance, providing a strong visual identity and practical seating solution for high-traffic environments.

Key Considerations When Choosing Commercial Chairs

Comfort & Event Duration

Align chair comfort with the expected duration of use. Padded conference chairs are ideal for longer meetings and events, ensuring guest comfort. Shell seats are highly practical for shorter periods or high-turnover use.

Stackability & Storage Efficiency

Maximise your space and operational efficiency. Folding chairs offer the most compact storage and fastest deployment. Many Eames-style and Tolix-style chairs also stack, reducing storage footprint for versatile venues.

Appearance & Venue Style

Select chairs that complement your venue's aesthetic. Eames-style and Tolix-style chairs are perfect for modern, design-led spaces, while conference chairs offer a classic, formal, or neutral appearance suitable for a wide range of settings.

Volume Pricing & Budget

For bulk purchases, our EventPro® lines often feature tiered quantity pricing. Always check individual product pages for available 10+, 50+, and 100+ unit discounts to optimise your budget.

Weight & Handling Ease

Consider the weight if chairs are frequently moved. Lighter options like folding chairs and shell-seat chairs simplify setup and rearrangement for staff, crucial for venues with dynamic layouts or rapid event turnovers.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Ease of cleaning impacts operational costs and hygiene. Moulded plastic shells wipe clean effortlessly. Upholstered seating requires more specific care, especially in high-use settings. Consult our materials guide for detailed advice.
