The Max Chair offers architects and designers an exceptional seating solution that adds value to any commercial space by combining design versatility, ergonomic excellence, careful material selection and a variety of customisation options.

Commercial furniture design requires striking a delicate balance between aesthetics and practicality. While many furniture companies offer high-quality commercial products, there are few that can match the versatile Max chair’s combination of design, comfort and functionality.
From one of Australia’s most respected manufacturers, Workspace Commercial Furniture, the Max chair boasts a sturdy steel frame that shoulders the ergonomic polypropylene seat. This well-crafted piece of furniture is made with strength and quality in mind, featuring a mesh back that offers maximum comfort and breathability, and a back rest that offers the perfect amount of flexibility to improve the seating experience.
The design process was centred on a meticulous and iterative approach with the objective of creating a seating solution that was at home in as many applications as possible. A key aspect of the design was the incorporation of a built-in linking system, allowing the chair to be vertically stacked and easily adaptable.
The selection of materials focuses on durability, comfort, sustainability and easy maintenance and achieving a visually pleasing and harmonious aesthetic that fits in effortlessly in contemporary work settings. A black upholstered seat comes as standard, with the option to upholster in your choice of fabric, leather or vinyl.
It is the Max chair’s versatility and space-saving design that sets it apart. With its slim profile and solid construction, Max integrates seamlessly in education and hospitality settings where lots of seats are needed with its linking and stacking capabilities allowing for safe arrangement and storage. Max’s clean lines and smooth polypropylene surface complement spaces demanding durability and cleanliness, such as in health and aged care facilities. The introduction of such an adaptable chair would also be beneficial in a breakout space, meeting room, training room, lounge or foyer.
Beyond aesthetics and functionality, the design of the chair considers the practical requirements of users. In addition to its ergonomic polypropylene seat, with optional upholstered seat pad, and breathable mesh back, the Max chair can be specified with arms, tablet arm or no arms. This comprehensive approach guarantees that the chair satisfies the requirements of modern work environments.
The Max chair is exclusive to Workspace Commercial Furniture. For more information, visit their website here.
