Contract armchairs: choice guide

Table of Contents

The choice of contract seating is of paramount importance for
high-traffic environments
such as bars, restaurants, offices and other commercial spaces to ensure
aesthetics, comfort, durability and functionality.

These pieces of furniture should blend harmoniously with the overall design of the space, and at the same time withstand daily wear and tear. The careful choice of materials and construction techniques allows the chairs to maintain their integrity and appearance over time, making them a valuable investment for any business.


In this article, we will delve into these aspects, examining the key features of
contract chairs. We will analyze the importance of quality materials, ease of
maintenance, comfort and ergonomics, as well as style and design, to guide you in choosing
the best solutions for your commercial spaces.

Features of contract armchairs

Let us now delve into each of the key features that make a
contract armchair the ideal choice for commercial spaces.

Quality materials

Contract chairs must be made of high-quality materials to ensure
durability and reliability.

The most suitable materials include solid wood, particularly beech that is very easy to work with, has a homogeneous grain and is inexpensive, thus allowing for ergonomic and detailed designs at a price that is fair for quality/price.

The versatility of beech wood makes it suitable for a wide range of furniture. It can be molded, cut and shaped to create different shapes and designs. Whether you’re looking for a wood to make chairs, tables, bookcases or beds, beech can adapt to your furniture needs and design styles.
Its versatility allows you to create unique, custom furniture that blends seamlessly into your interior.

The strength and durability of beech are other reasons to choose it. This wood is known for
its strength and ability to withstand daily wear and tear.


In addition to its beauty and durability, beech wood is also a sustainable choice for furniture.
Because it is a natural, renewable and biodegradable material, it contributes to the reduction
of environmental impact.
In addition, it is often sourced from sustainably managed forests, ensuring the
regeneration of resources and the preservation of forest ecosystems.

Metal is another material frequently used to make contract chairs. Its strength and durability make it perfect for structures that must support significant weights without deforming.

Metals such as stainless steel and aluminum offer a wide range of aesthetic finishes, contributing to a modern and attractive design. These materials are often treated to resist corrosion, ensuring a long service life in high-traffic environments.

Cold-molded flame-retardant polyurethane possesses a non-deformable and durable formulation developed for cold molding chairs, armchairs, cushions and office shells. POLFLEX items are ready to be upholstered with fabric or leather. It is usually applied to metal, POLSTRONG, wood, plastic inserts or combinations of these.

Ease of maintenance

Ease of cleaning and maintenance is crucial for contract chair covers, especially in high-traffic environments such as bars and restaurants.

These spaces require fabrics that resist daily wear and tear and stains, and maintain a fresh appearance over time.

The most suitable fabrics to meet these needs are:

  • Vinyl: This material possesses a smooth surface, making it extremely resistant to food and drink stains. In fact, liquids and oils are unable to penetrate the interior of the structure. It is easily cleaned with simple soap and water solutions.
  • Polyester: polyester is a sturdy material that retains its shape and color even after multiple cleanings. It possesses stain-resistant properties and is water-resistant.
  • Microfiber: known for its stain resistance, microfiber has a fine texture, which prevents liquids from penetrating. It is easy to clean and dries quickly.
  • Teflon-treated fabrics: these materials offer superior protection against water and beverages, creating a barrier that repels liquids and makes surfaces easier to clean.
  • Polypropylene: propylene has a strong structure that makes it extremely scratch-resistant and easy to maintain.
  • Acrylic: similar to polypropylene in terms of strength and ease of maintenance, acrylic is very durable and maintains its appearance over time.

Style and design

The design of contract chairs must harmonize with the overall aesthetics of the space in which they will be placed. Whether the style is modern, classic, or contemporary, it is critical that they blend seamlessly with the existing decor to create a coherent and inviting environment.

In addition to aesthetics, good design must also ensure comfort and ergonomics. Armchairs should provide adequate lumbar support and comfortable seating even for prolonged periods. Ensuring a balance between style and comfort ensures not only an attractive appearance but also a pleasant experience for the user.
