Arlo Armchair
Most armchair frames disappear once the upholstery goes on, hidden beneath the seat and forgotten about. Arlo does the opposite, the crossed under-seat detail in round solid wood is a visible structural feature, the kind of thing someone notices when they look closely rather than something purely functional and out of sight. It's a small architectural decision that gives the chair genuine character without relying on bold colour or an oversized silhouette to do the work.
Available in Black or Natural Ash for the frame, the round solid wood construction carries through the same soft, minimalist language as the rest of the chair, no sharp angles, nothing overly geometric, just considered curves that suit a contemporary workspace wanting something quieter than a typical statement reception chair. High density foam padding underneath the unique multi-weave upholstery keeps the seat genuinely comfortable through repeated daily use, and a 150kg weight rating confirms real commercial grade construction sits behind the elegant appearance.
Three upholstery options, Grey, Forest Green or Terracotta Pink, give the Arlo a noticeably wider colour range than a typical minimalist chair, letting it lean neutral or pick up a confident accent tone depending on the rest of the space. A 5 year warranty applies.

Common Questions:
What does the crossed under-seat detail actually do beyond looking considered?
It provides genuine structural rigidity to the chair frame, supporting the seat from underneath rather than relying purely on the legs for stability. The fact that it's also visually distinctive is a deliberate design choice, but its primary role is functional support.
Is the 150kg weight rating consistent regardless of upholstery or frame colour choice?
Yes, the weight rating reflects the underlying frame and foam construction, which stays consistent across all upholstery and frame finish combinations.
Which upholstery colour suits a more neutral, minimalist workspace?
Grey works as the most neutral option for a quieter, minimalist specification. Forest Green and Terracotta Pink both work well as a deliberate accent colour where the space can support a stronger statement without losing the chair's overall understated frame design.
