Fat Work Chair
Tom Dixon
Designed by Tom Dixon.
This new task chair rejects clinical and technological looks in favour of softer, more domestic aesthetics. The fatness of the curved backrests and the thickness of the upholstery make these a really comfortable series of furniture.
Height adjustable using a simple up-and-down gas-lift mechanism that meets industry standards and ensuring ergonomic support.
Equipped with a five-star swivel base featuring free-rolling hard wheel casters for easy mobility.
Upholstered in Europe by highly experienced craftsmen in a choice of fabric types and colours (see a list under ‘Details’). Fabrics are priced in ‘Groups’. Simply select the appropriate price Group and then add a note of your fabric choice at checkout or email us.
