What did you have in mind?

Bespoke: size, colour, finish

Painted bases show every knock; the paint sits on top. For the Pyla, ICF offers a second logic: a five-star base in mass-coloured plastic — black or light grey — where the pigment runs through the polymer itself. What gets scuffed by shoes and vacuum cleaners simply exposes more of the same colour. For large Indian fit-outs, where hundreds of task chairs meet daily traffic, that is not a cosmetic note but a maintenance line: the base that never needs touch-up paint. The aluminium version — chromed, polished or painted — remains for those who want metal underfoot.

Above either base works the full responsive family: three backs — breathable mesh, suspended fabric, fully covered Soft — on a die-cast aluminium rear spine, adaptive lumbar element, 4D armrests, seat depth adjustable while seated. The steel-sled visitor chair, the four-leg version on casters and the counter stool complete the floor. La Mercanti delivers the range to India with samples first and one consolidated shipment after.

FAQ

What can the four-leg version do that meeting chairs usually cannot?
Roll: its chromed steel frame rides on casters with a safety brake to EN 12529:2001, so the chair moves itself between table and wall. Thermoplastic shell in grey or black, 92 cm tall — the most mobile fixed chair in the room.
How tall do the backs go?
The rear structure comes in two heights and total heights run from 104 to 120 cm on the task versions — no headrests in this family: the backrest ends where the work requires.
Which substances are banned from the build?
Formaldehyde and hexavalent chrome — with components selected after testing their effects on health and the environment; roughly 94% of the chair can be recycled when parts are separated correctly.
What sits inside the back shell of the visitor versions?
An internal counter-frame of flexible slats under the partially covered technopolymer shell, plus an anatomical central hollow that adapts, per the data sheet, to any user's weight and build — form doing the work of mechanisms.
Can the chairs be ordered without armrests?
Yes — the data sheet provides for it expressly, for minimal aesthetics or tight desks; in between sit fixed aluminium armrests finished to match the structure.

Building a Pyla order for an Indian office floor

Five steps carry a floor plan to a complete Pyla order — zones, sizes, backs and samples in sequence.

Split the floor by role
Full-day desks, meeting rooms, visitor zones and counters each map to one member of the family — list them before choosing models.
Divide runs by seat width
Task versions take 65 or 71 cm per seat, the visitor chair 59 cm: desk runs and table lengths fix the quantities.
Record the back per zone
Airy weave at the screens, suspended membrane where texture shows, covered version where the room must look dressed.
Lock one finish code
Polished, chromed, white, black or grey across structures and feet keeps the floor coherent.
Close on samples
La Mercanti sends weave, fabric and leather samples with dimensional sheets to the site; confirm on the real thing, then take one consignment.
