“A chair’s function is not just to provide a place to sit; it is to provide a medium for self-expression. Chairs are about status, for example. Or signalling something about oneself. That’s why the words chair, seat and bench have found themselves used to describe high status professions, from academia to Parliament to the law”.
These words above were said by an English economist (Evan Davis) and the way that we understand it, is that Evan Davis was obviously referring to all of these different types chairs because we have a lot of office chairs with different names and functions, chairs like the ones we normally see in the reception areas to the ones in CEO’s offices.
So in this article, we will be going through all different types of office chairs and their functions. The truth is there’re many office chairs out there and they come in many different forms and shapes with different names. Lets cut to the chase and look at our comprehensive list of different types of office chairs for different applications.
Reception Chairs

Visitors Chairs
Visitors chairs are more similar to reception chairs. Depending on the size of a company, visitors chairs can be placed at the visitors area or waiting area where visitors they normally arrive, seated or welcomed.

When looking to add a few more training or educational chairs, these are some of the chairs you should definitely consider and what we like about these chairs is that they’re inexpensive and straight to the point, easy to sit on and good for all body sizes.
Executives Chairs
Executive chairs were first designed for high status people or people with high positions in big companies or 500 fortune firms as we call them, the likes of CEO’s, Managers, COO’s and the Chairmen of the board but that has changed because people have money these nowadays and they can buy whatever they want. The sky is the limit.
Conference Chairs

If you look at them properly you’ll see that they don’t differ a lot from the training chairs because they almost serve the same purpose, they are also great for gatherings especially for large family meetings, outdoors and they are also inexpensive.
