Draughtsman Chair

Draughtsman chair for elevated workstations and professional reception areas

For workstations that sit above standard desk height, the draughtsman chair provides the ideal seating solution. Designed with elevated surfaces in mind — such as reception counters, registration desks, and technical control stations — this chair offers superior comfort and adjustability for staff who require extended seating support without compromising mobility or posture.

Upholstered in charcoal cushioned fabric, this chair delivers a smart, neutral appearance that integrates easily into a variety of event settings. Whether you’re staffing a welcome desk at a sports hospitality entrance, managing guest registration at a large music festival, or coordinating logistics from a production hub, the draughtsman chair offers the ergonomic functionality and aesthetic appeal to support your team throughout the event.

Ergonomic and adaptable furniture for temporary event environments

Part of our high-performance furniture hire collection, the draughtsman chair is designed with practicality and user comfort at its core. It features a gas lift adjustable height mechanism that allows the user to easily raise or lower the seat to suit their workspace. This is particularly important when working at taller counters or specialist workstations that fall outside the range of standard seating.

With a foot rest incorporated into the frame, the chair also supports better posture by allowing users to rest their feet comfortably, even when the seat is at its highest setting. This helps prevent leg fatigue and improves overall ergonomics — essential in live event environments where staff may be seated for long hours while performing high-focus tasks.

The padded seat and backrest are upholstered in durable, charcoal-toned fabric that provides comfort while also being easy to maintain. It’s a material choice that feels appropriate for everything from creative control rooms and media broadcast booths to reception pods and technical support desks.

The chair’s lightweight yet robust construction ensures stability on a wide range of surfaces, from raised flooring to carpet tiles and hard event decking. Its 360-degree swivel base and smooth glide foot ring allow for easy movement without needing to stand, enabling users to multitask with greater efficiency and less physical strain.

They’re a valuable asset for roles that require frequent seated engagement with guests or tech — such as accreditation managers, control room operators, or help desk staff.

The chair’s compact footprint means it won’t take up excessive space, and the adjustable features make it ideal for shared workstations or multi-shift environments. Its durable construction ensures it remains in excellent condition across multi-day events, making it a dependable piece of kit for professional event delivery.
