Hobnob from Sebel

Continuing to offer innovative furniture solutions, Sebel Furniture present the classic ’Hobnob’ armchair.

November 21st, 2008

The basis of its sleek and functional design came about as a result of a comprehensive posture study. However the Hobnob is much more than a comfortable chair, it possesses that certain classic something that keeps people coming back for more.

In early days it was widely used in clubs and hotels and regarded as cutting edge design. In more recent times Hobnob continues to be an iconic product and a designer’s favourite used in trendy restaurants and major shopping centre food courts.

The armchair is a low maintenance, high-performance, practical furniture solution that can withstand the rigours of commercial use. The Hobnob is available upholstered with a four legged or sled chrome base.
