ArcoCantilever Guest Chair
A guest chair has one job: hold whoever sits across from you without needing instructions.
In stock, ready to ship
Encrypted checkout. We never see or store your card details.
One bent tube, no mechanisms
A cantilever guest chair with a fixed height, fixed arms, and nothing for guests to figure out.
The cantilever frame
One chrome-steel tube bends into the sled base and uprights. No casters, no column, no mechanism to go out of adjustment between visitors.
Non-rotating, on purpose
It is a guest chair. It does not swivel or lift, so it faces where you put it and stays there, which is exactly what a conference table wants.
Four styles, one frame
Band mesh in black, the same bands on a taller high back, or smooth faux leather in black or off-white. Fixed loop arms with padded caps on all four.
4 finishes
Which one is yours
A swatch tells you the colour. This tells you the room it belongs in.
Arco in Band Mesh Black
The one you do not have to think about
Black recedes into a desk and lets the work be the loudest thing on it. It is the finish that photographs cleanly on a call, holds up against every wood tone, and is almost never the decision anyone regrets.
Arco in Faux Leather Black
The one you do not have to think about
Black recedes into a desk and lets the work be the loudest thing on it. It is the finish that photographs cleanly on a call, holds up against every wood tone, and is almost never the decision anyone regrets.
Arco in Faux Leather Off-White
Reads as light, not as furniture
White keeps a small desk feeling larger than it measures. Against plaster, paper and pale wood it stops registering as an object at all, which is exactly what you want from something that lives in front of you eight hours a day.
Arco in High-Back Mesh Black
The one you do not have to think about
Black recedes into a desk and lets the work be the loudest thing on it. It is the finish that photographs cleanly on a call, holds up against every wood tone, and is almost never the decision anyone regrets.

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
Does it swivel or adjust?
No, and that is the design. The Arco is a guest chair: fixed 42 cm seat height, fixed loop arms, no gas lift, no rotation. Guests sit down and face the conversation, and the chair never needs resetting after they leave.
What is the difference between Band Mesh and High-Back Mesh?
Back height. Both stretch horizontal ribbon bands of semi-sheer mesh across the frame; the High-Back carries the treatment taller for more coverage behind the shoulders. Frame, seat, and arms are otherwise the same chair.
Is the leather real?
No. The upholstered versions are faux leather, a smooth PU over seat and back, in black or off-white. We say faux everywhere because that is what it is, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth.
Will it fit at my table or desk?
Two numbers decide it: armrests at 59 cm from the floor and total height at 88 cm, as printed for the faux leather variant. Check both against your table apron before ordering a room's worth.
How does a sled base behave on floors?
The rails rest flat along the floor rather than on four legs or casters, so the load spreads along two lines and the chair slides into place rather than rolling. On delicate flooring, use the same felt pads you would put under any metal furniture.
How heavy is it to move around?
7 kg net, light enough for one person to reposition without planning it. That is most of the argument for guest seating with no mechanisms: pick it up, put it where the meeting is.
Do you price for outfitting a whole room?
Yes. Trade pricing starts at the second chair and steps down through the tiers, with the volume price from 10 units. For larger volumes than that, contact us and we will quote the units and the freight together.
