Choosing the Mynt Chair
Choose the setting
Decide whether the chair is for shared desks, meeting rooms or workplace dining. This helps set the right base, finish and floor-contact option for each room.
Check the base and floor
Ask for the four-star base with glides or castors, or the five-star base with castors. State whether the floor is hard or carpeted before choosing.
Select the seat and back
Compare natural oak veneer, dark walnut veneer and recycled polyamide for the project. Confirm the chosen material and colour against the room scheme and cleaning plan.
Decide on upholstery
Fabric covers for the seat and backrest are optional. Confirm whether bare surfaces or removable covers fit each room, then specify the chosen fabric and care needs.
Plan for shared use
The movement resistance adapts to body weight, but the seat height still needs adjusting. Consider how the chair will be used and moved between users.
Confirm the exact model
Mynt is the office swivel chair. Mynt High is a counter chair and Mynt Soft is a lounge chair. Give the intended model and quantity when requesting a quotation.

What makes the Mynt Chair different from a traditional office chair?
