Material 6


Harter
I have such mixed feelings about this company. They have the most incredible marketing team in the world. Not only do they have the cutest logo, but their literature features task chairs having conversations.

However, when you ditch the cutesy heart logo and the fun colors of their brochures, are they just a bunch of similar-looking overpriced crappy chairs with steel framing? I have yet had the pleasure of seeing them in person to vouch for their quality, but their marketing department is fantastic because all of the brochures make these chairs look pretty darn hip.
Relax... the Forum: One Seater chair's fun, and it's even got a nifty orange pattern on it - so you know it's gotta be good.

Furniture Designer Timothy deFiebre thought this was a new modern and unique option for reception seating. This chair comes available as a One Seater: Mid/High Back (shown above), Two Seater Mid/High Back, and Three Seater Mid/High Back.

It meets the CAL 133 standard with approved fabrics. It's simple construction consists of a fully upholstered outer back shell and a fabric or leather seat upholstered on top of a CAL 117 approved foam. The frame is a steel rod with a 9/16" diameter and glides.

It also has 7 available options for the frame finish (brushed, warm gray, black, bronze, brown, green, and mirror). The fabric selections are vast as well, allowing you to specify from Harter's Textile Collection, Knoll Textiles, Spinneybeck Leather, Textus, Momentum, KB Network, and KB Mesh Solids.
