Have a Seat!



Finding the “perfect fit” is never easy – whether it’s blue jeans or boardroom seating.  When it comes to selecting the “right” chair for our clients, Meyer has it down to a science. Every year, we dedicate October to “Chair Month.” Our entire staff evaluates over 75 different chairs - desk chairs, bar stools, task chairs, lounge seating, etc. -  to help our preferred furniture suppliers and manufacturers improve their product lines, and most importantly, to provide our designers with current information so they can efficiently specify quality chairs to best-suit the unique needs of each project. 


Our “Chair Month” evaluation is conducted by each staff member in categories such as ergonomics, aesthetic appeal, upholstery technique and overall comfort.


2011 Chair Month participants: Human Scale, Steelcase, Knoll, Herman Miller, HBF, KI, Allermuir, Harter, Davis, Vitra
