How to specify the Votteler Armchair
Plan the setting
Decide whether the chair will sit in a reception, workplace library or private office. Allow room around nearby tables and circulation routes.
Choose the back height
Compare the low-back 367-10 with the high-back 368-10. Both are 84 cm wide, but the high-back chair is deeper and taller. Use the maker's drawings to plan each position.
Check the seating dimensions
The low-back chair measures 84 cm deep and 87 cm high. The high-back chair is 90 cm deep and 110 cm high. Both have a 42.5 cm seat height.
Select the armrests
Choose between the solid nutwood armrests with sapwood and the burnt, oiled oak version listed by Walter Knoll. Ask to see samples alongside the proposed upholstery before confirming a finish.
Match the base and floor
The steel base is listed in polished chrome, matt black or matt bronze. Specify the appropriate synthetic or felt glides for the room's floor and confirm the choice with the consultant.
