Conference chairs – which conference chair is the right choice for my needs?
Who doesn't know it? Long meetings, conferences and meetings not only challenge the mind and concentration, but also the body. Our body and health are our most valuable assets, which is why ergonomics should also ideally be taken into account when sitting for longer periods of time. A perfectly coordinated conference chair should guarantee an optimal, ergonomic sitting posture. At the end of the day, it is important that the conference outcome is optimal for everyone involved. It would therefore also be a win-win situation if the backs of all conference or meeting participants were positively influenced after longer or shorter meeting times. Of course, all waiting areas can also be addressed at this point.
Below we will pass on experiences from our 14 years of know-how to you so that you can make the right choice for your conference chair or visitor chair.
What criteria should be taken into account for a conference chair?
Basically, it is important to ask about the use and event framework, but the time factor is also relevant.
- Conferences (major events)
- Conferences & seminars (day or longer seminars)
- Events (celebrations, concerts, lectures)
- meetings
- Short meetings
- Waiting room
Depending on the purpose for which the chair is chosen, a visitor or conference chair should offer the highest level of stability and safety. At large conferences and events, the focus is usually on a cheap option where the chairs can stand stably next to each other. This is also where row seating is usually used, where the chairs are often additionally connected with row connectors. Ideally, the chairs should also be stackable.
Well-padded, usually fabric-covered conference chairs with an upright backrest are ideal for meetings and seminars. As already mentioned, even in longer seminars or conferences, it is necessary to pay attention to an ergonomic sitting position so that at the end the participants can leave the conference or seminar feeling good physically.

Which chair shapes can be considered for visitor and conference chairs?
Essentially, a distinction is made between two forms of visitor and conference chairs. There are also some other specialties:
- Four-legged chairs
- Cantilever chairs
- Moving sitting
- With integrated gas spring/automatic return mechanism
- Lounge chair
The four-legged chair
Four-legged chairs are considered classics among chairs. They offer enormous stability, are usually very robust and can be used for people of different sizes and weights. The four-legged chair is usually covered with durable fabric. These types of chairs usually have a low weight and are therefore quick and easy to put away. They are ideal for meetings, seminars, celebrations and events and are often available directly as a set of 4 visitor chairs.
Moving sitting
In recent years, moving sitting has become increasingly popular. There is usually some kind of joint or cushion installed under the seat, which allows it to be easily tilted in all directions.
This supports the back and ensures that the intervertebral discs are well supplied with fluid while sitting. Conference or visitor chairs of this type can usually be found in the higher price categories.
The lounge chair
Last but not least, the lounge chair should be mentioned as an absolute premium model in the area of visitor chairs. In the high-quality price segment, the lounge chair is used in exclusive environments, for example in airport lounges, bars or in many hotel lobbies. The lounge chair invites you to sit comfortably together and can also be used for cultivated conversations in the executive office.
The cantilever chair
Swing chairs are usually built with a frame that allows them to swing freely backwards. This form of sitting usually offers a comfortable and comfortable sitting position. For this reason, visitor chairs or conference chairs that are built as swing chairs are usually used in smaller meeting rooms, waiting rooms or as visitor chairs in the executive office. Swing chairs are usually elaborate and thickly padded and made of leather or imitation leather.
Most swing chairs are used as visitor chairs for waiting rooms or conference rooms, but are also a real eye-catcher as designer pieces of furniture in the home.
With integrated gas spring/automatic return mechanism
Automatic return means that the chair automatically turns back to its starting position immediately after getting up.
These chairs are usually premium items made of fine leather or with high-quality fabric cover. The chairs are mostly used in sophisticated law firms, practices or executive offices. This is usually the case
What type of materials are used in visitor or conference chairs?
The material for visitor or conference chairs of all kinds can usually be divided into three categories.
- Leather
- Faux leather
- fabric
The use of the materials is usually expressed in the application of the conference chair and depends on the place of use and the environment.
Leather and high-quality fabrics can usually be found in corresponding, more exclusive ambiences. With an elegant appearance, they offer more beautiful living and a visually enhancing working environment. However, leather and high-quality fabrics require a certain level of care and attention.
Artificial leather is used in places where the wallet has to be spared, but the sublime look of leather is still desired or a particularly easy-care solution for the visitor chair is sought. Artificial leather is generally very easy to care for and can therefore be used in places where the person sitting often moves. Ideal for smaller meeting rooms, but also in places with larger public traffic.
Visitor chairs with fabric covers are usually chosen for robust and versatile locations. This is usually the classic four-legged chair.
Fabrics and their longevity are usually classified according to abrasion resistance. Using the term scouring tour you can quickly find the necessary quality for your own location and thus the optimal safety for use.
