Comfortable Office Chairs For Sale on 1stDibs
An assortment of comfortable office chairs is available at 1stDibs. The range of distinct comfortable office chairs — often made from animal skin, leather and wood — can elevate any home. Comfortable office chairs have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century. There are many kinds of comfortable office chairs to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Mid-Century Modern, Victorian and Georgian comfortable office chairs are of considerable interest. Many comfortable office chairs are appealing in their simplicity, but Bevan Funnell Ltd., Chesterfield and Comforto produced popular comfortable office chairs that are worth a look.
How Much are Comfortable Office Chairs?
Prices for comfortable office chairs can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, comfortable office chairs begin at $849 and can go as high as $8,494, while the average can fetch as much as $2,850.
Finding the Right Seating for You
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
Questions About Comfortable Office Chairs
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The most comfortable office chair is one that helps you sit at your desk comfortably, without harming your posture or causing back and joint pains. An uncomfortable office chair can lead to multiple problems such as lower back injuries and muscular strains. Hence, it is wise to choose the most comfortable option for your office chair. Shop a range of antique and vintage office chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021There are many types of comfortable chairs for your home — it's really a matter of preference. There are features that help ensure that the chair is comfortable such as how it is upholstered, the form of the chair itself and more. Find a variety of vintage, modern and antique chairs on 1stDibs to meet any design style or decor scheme.
- Is a wingback chair comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Whether a wingback chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, many wingback chairs feature plush cushioning, and the tall backs can provide ample back support. A wingback’s protruding arms were initially designed to protect a sitter from drafts or intense heat from a fireplace. This may be obsolete in the 21st century, but the chairs have maintained their popularity over the years and have seen waves of revivals, from mid-century modern spin offs to playful contemporary adaptations (like the Bear chair by Pierre Yovanovitch, wherein the place of wings are furry ears — a cheeky send-up of Hans Wegner’s iconic mid-century Papa Bear chair). On 1stDibs, shop a range of wingback chairs.
- Is a Swan chair comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not a Swan chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal perception. Arne Jacobsen designed the tapered backrest and curved seat of the swiveling accent chair to conform to the shape of the human body, believing it would offer ample support. You'll find a collection of Swan chairs on 1stDibs.
- Is the Shell Chair comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Whether the Shell chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, creator Hans J. Wegner designed the curves of the backrest and the seat to complement the contours of the human body in order to provide ample support when the Shell chair made its debut in 1963. Chairs became Wegner’s specialty, and over the years he designed over 500 of them. More than 100 of his designs, such as the Wishbone chair and the Papa Bear chair, went into production. Shop a selection of Shell chairs and other vintage Hans Wegner seating on 1stDibs.
- Are Eiffel chairs comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Eiffel chairs were designed to be comfortable first and foremost. The plastic molded seat and frame make the chair ideal for outdoor use as it can withstand the elements. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Eiffel chairs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- Are bistro chairs comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Whether bistro chairs are comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, many people find the width of the seat and back make it possible to sit back and relax during a meal or conversation. Find a variety of bistro chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Whether or not Butterfly chairs are comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. Many people find that the way the upholstery of the Butterfly chair hangs from its metal frame provides plenty of support for the body. Plus, its sling design invites users to settle in and relax. Shop a collection of Butterfly chairs on 1stDibs.
- Are weave chairs comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Whether weave chairs are comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. Some people like the way that woven backs and seats cradle their bodies and prefer weave chairs as a result. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of weave chairs from some of the world's top sellers.
- Is a Risom chair comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Whether or not a Risom chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal perception. Jens Risom believed that the parachute webbing and sturdy maple wood frames of his chair perfectly suited the contours of the human body to deliver ample support. Shop a selection of Jens Risom chairs on 1stDibs.
- Are ghost chairs comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The comfort of ghost chairs is a matter of preference and depends on each sitter’s comfort needs. Ghost chairs are made with polycarbonate plastic, which doesn’t provide any additional cushioning or support. Ghost chairs can be made more comfortable with cushions and throws. Shop a selection of ghost chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The most comfortable outdoor chair is a matter of preference. But you can choose from a variety of options available such as adjustable reclining chairs, zero gravity chair, outdoor folding chair, etc. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of chair options for outdoor seating.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021The most comfortable folding chair is really a matter of preference. When shopping for folding chairs, you’ll want to think about how you’ll use them, how often you’ll be using them and if you have a preference with respect to materials. Shop antique, vintage and new folding chairs on 1stDibs.
- Are lounge chairs comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024Whether lounge chairs are comfortable or not is a matter of personal opinion. However, providing a comfortable place to sit is the main function of a lounge chair. After all, the addition of the footrest makes it possible to kick up your feet and relax. Many makers design lounge chairs with comfort in mind, adding features like cushioning and/or ergonomic backrests and seats. Explore a wide variety of lounge chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023Although opinions vary, most people prefer that their accent chairs are comfortable. Accent chairs help to enhance the appearance of a seating area, but they also function as seats in many living rooms. As a result, when selecting one, you may want to keep in mind how it feels to sit in an accent chair as well as how it looks. Find a wide variety of accent chairs on 1stDibs.
- Are sling chairs comfortable?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Whether sling chairs are comfortable is largely a matter of personal opinion. However, many people like how the leather or fabric sling found on this type of chair cradles them while they sit for long periods. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of sling chairs.
