Draughtsman Chair — Designed for Standing Desks & Elevated Workspaces
The Draughtsman Chair was designed for draughtsmen — professionals whose job requires preparing detailed drawings of machinery, equipment, or buildings. With ergonomic standup desks becoming popular, you can’t stand for 8 hours a day. That’s why draughtsman chairs with wheels, armrests, and adjustable footrings have become essential for architects, designers, and technical professionals.
What Is a Draughtsman Chair?
According to the Collins dictionary: “A draughtsman is a man whose job is to prepare very detailed drawings of machinery, equipment, or buildings.”
These drawings are usually in large formats as big as A0 or A1 sizes, and this is where the name “high back draughtsman chair” comes from. What’s important is that we can fit a draughtsman’s base to almost any chair or stool in our range.
What Features Make a Draughtsman Chair Ergonomic?
- ✓Adjustable Footring: Ergonomic leg support that lies in perfect ratio to the backrest for drawing-based jobs.
- ✓Gas Height Adjustment: Easily adjust to match standing desks, drafting tables, or elevated counters.
- ✓Lumbar Support Backrest: Specialized backrest with back rake mechanism prevents strain during long work sessions.
