The Kyoto is our own brand, so we set the price — and the rate improves with volume. Call 02 9640 0642 or contact us with your quantity, colour split and installation window and we will come back with a firm number. We can also arrange a sample chair for your client to test before you commit, supply specification and warranty documentation for a tender submission, and deliver assembled with packaging removed for Sydney metro projects.

Features

• Heavy-duty synchro mechanism — a continuous flowing recline, so the backrest keeps moving with you rather than locking in one position
• Seat slide function for seat-depth adjustment
• Height-adjustable flexing lumbar support
• Fire-retardant Korean Wintex cotton mesh backrest
• 4D armrests (height, width, depth and pivot)
• High-density super-soft moulded foam seat
• ANSI/BIFMA X5.1-2017 approved, weight rated to 140 kg
• GREENGUARD Children & Schools indoor air quality certified, 97% recyclable
• 10-year structural warranty — frame, base and gas lift

Specifications

• Seat height: 470–560 mm
• Seat width: 500 mm
• Seat depth: 490–540 mm
• Back: 560 mm high × 480 mm wide
• Between armrests: 435–480 mm
• Backrest height with headrest: 655–715 mm
• Maximum user weight: 140 kg

The 140 kg is a tested figure against a named standard, which is unusual at this price — most chairs under $1,000 publish no maximum user weight at all. Our guide to office chairs under $1,000 in Australia compares the Kyoto against the HÅG Tion 2100, Tion 2140 and SoFi Mesh on every published measurement, and our guide to office chair weight ratings explains what these numbers mean and who certifies them. If you are specifying for people who shift and fidget all day, our guide to office chairs for people who cannot sit still sets the Kyoto's adjustment range against the Capisco, SoFi and Tion.
