Information about seminar, meeting and lunchroom chairs

Selection criteria for chairs used in education and commercial environments include; safety, durability, ergonomic comfort, flexibility, pricing, aesthetics, sustainability, options to customise, stocked and assembled locally and a four to six week delivery lead.

Pre-existing injuries: Staff can contact Griffith Health, Safety and Wellbeing for advice and assistance on suitable furniture.

Standard upholstery fabrics and fabric suppliers are listed at the bottom of the page. Fabrics are generally rated for Commercial heavy-duty use. Wool is Griffith’s preferred upholstery fabric. This fabric does not contaminate indoor air, is naturally fire retardant, absorbs moisture, is biodegradable, renewable and is naturally resistant to bacteria. Other fabrics and vinyl have been provided for more heavily used environments or where food is consumed. Note: Mould grows on upholstery foam under fabric if food or liquids are left to seep through.
