Side Chairs for Flexible Office Seating

Increase the seating potential in your office with occasional chairs. Use them as waiting room seating, break room chairs or extra seating in individual offices. The chairs work on a floating basis — move them to different office spaces as needed to accommodate all the bodies in the room.

Keep Seating Flexible

Occasional chairs are semi-portable chairs used for different occasions in different areas. Have a meeting with more people than normal? Grab an occasional chair. Collaborating with a coworker? Scoot up close with an occasional chair. If you don't have the need for all of that shuffling, it's perfectly fine to keep your office occasional chairs in one spot. Add the homey look of the chairs instead of traditional reception seating to make your waiting room cozy, or let your employees take a load off on comfy seat in the break room. However you use them, these chairs are easily movable should you want to change things up or take your seating on the go.

Suit the Purpose

Several different styles of chair fit into the occasional category, including accent, side, arm, dining and parsons chairs. Upholstered accent and arm chairs aren't as easy to move as other chairs, so they work best if you don't need extreme portability. Dining chairs suit break room purposes, and the lighter weight and easy-to-grip design gives this style major points in the portability department. Parsons chairs fall somewhere in the middle, with comfortable cushioning and average portability.
