Trade terms for professionals and design studios
Large fit-outs usually solve three problems with three suppliers: a task chair for the desks, a meeting chair for the rooms, an executive chair for the directors' floor. Musa Chair is presented for all three at once — the user manual carries the words meeting, task and executive on its cover, and describes the range as a seating collection of great prestige. It works because the variables are on the inside: three backrest heights, four mechanical configurations, one shape.
Practically, that means a boardroom can take fixed-height chairs on a four-star base with glides while the desks take height-adjustable codes with castors and the tilting mechanism, and everything still reads as one family — 66 by 50 centimetres on the floor, the same aluminium ring, the same seams. Coverings run from category C and F fabrics to category E and Premium category H leather. La Mercanti works with Indian architects and contractors on exactly this kind of consolidation, before the aesthetics are fixed.
