Chair on wheels - an option for children and adults

A modern schoolchild, student or office worker during the training and work process should perform a lot of tasks and use different techniques. To save time and effort will help the chair on wheels.

The chair is a piece of furniture for sitting one person. Today there are so many models on the market that it is sometimes difficult to answer the question of the name of a product. Let's see. Historically, the chair was distinguished from the chair by the presence of armrests and the oblique position of the backrest. However, over time, models of chairs with armrests and a change in the position of the handle appeared. Another such model is called a half-chair.

The main difference is formulated Le Corbusier. According to the architect, all the items on which it is convenient to sit at the dining (or working) table are chairs. All tables below the standard height of 72-75 cm, the Frenchman called coffee and furniture for sitting next to them - armchairs. Another difference is the large width and depth.You can sit comfortably in a chair, but you can only get into a large chair with your legs or even lie down.

Due to its advantages, such models on wheels can be found everywhere - at home, in offices, hospitals, beauty salons. There are:

• ordinary (would be appropriate if you spend in a sitting position up to 2 hours a day);
• orthopedic (with varying parameters, relieve the spine, arms and legs).

The shape of the chair on wheels can be:

• without back (stool);
• with a low back;
• with a separate or monolithic back and a seat.

Mobile models can be made:

• from one material;
• from several (the so-called combined models).

Depending on the amount of filler, emit:

• hard;
• medium hardness;
• soft.

As upholstery is usually used:

• skin (one of the most expensive and durable materials);
• artificial leather substitutes (for example, eco-leather and cheaper analogues are less resistant to damage);
• acrylic mesh (the most common material due to high wear resistance and affordability);
• textiles (various types of fabric can be used, based on where they are used - for example, more environmentally friendly and breathable fabrics are used for children).

Given the parameters of the chair, there are several categories. The width of the chair and back are divided into:

• small (up to 50 cm) - intended for children;
• medium (50-60 cm);
• large (from 60 cm).

In depth are:

• small (up to 60 cm) - for children;
• medium (61-70 cm);
• deep (more than 71 cm).

The standard seat height is 45-50 cm. However, all parameters must be considered in accordance with the proportions of your body. The best option would be models with variable sizes.

What your chair will look like is directly curled from its purpose and material.Materials have their own characteristics. As a rule, all of the above have a sufficiently large color palette. Metal parts can be chrome or matte, and the skin and its substitutes come in different textures.

Depending on whether the chair will be in the office or at home, its surface may be monochromatic or colored. More conservative and neutral colors (black, brown, beige) are selected for the office or office. For home, especially in the nursery, you can pick up more bright colors that match the interior style (yellow, orange, purple). Children's models with images of favorite characters will cheer up.
