The Franklin Task Chair brings a vintage workshop look to commercial interiors. An upholstered seat and a curved upholstered back pad are carried on a steel frame that rises from a caster base, with a round steel footring set just above the wheels. The back is mounted on a slim steel upright, giving the chair a compact, utilitarian profile that recalls classic drafting and machinist stools.

The Franklin is finished in a custom powder coat color, so the frame can be matched to a brand palette or to other metal in the space. It suits hotel business centers, host stands, back-of-house offices, studios and any hospitality setting that wants a working chair with more character than a standard office seat.
