What is in the range

Brown tub chair

Warmer neutral lounge schemes.

Cream tub chair

Lighter foyers and wedding-adjacent room sets.

Red tub chair

Feature seating and stronger event palettes.


Choosing the right option

Choose by colour, room tone and how formal or relaxed the lounge area needs to feel.

Use pairs for interview corners and waiting areas, or groups of four around a low table where guests will stay longer. The compact footprint makes tub chairs useful on stands and in foyers. Leave enough room behind each chair for guest movement and bag space so the cluster feels usable rather than decorative.

  • Pair chairs with a table for drinks or brochures
  • Use red where the seating needs more visual impact
  • Use cream or brown for quieter schemes
  • Leave space around the chair cluster for access
  • Use sofas instead where the room needs a stronger lounge anchor
  • Keep clusters off the main service route
