With the seat dropped all the way, the high-back Not Guilty stands 47 1/4 in tall; with it fully raised, 50 3/8 in. Under that back, five spokes of polished aluminum reach out to a 27 1/2 in circle on casters: the five-spoke version of the Skill base, reserved for this one model. Seen across a desk the proportions read at once, a tall upholstered back, softly folded along its lower edge, over a wide and bright star. Quinti builds it in Cesa, near Arezzo, to a drawing by Cristian Gori.

On our executive office chairs page it appears as QX222700S, and the figures under the silhouette are practical: the seat adjusts from 18 1/8 to 21 1/4 in, the footprint is 28 3/8 × 28 3/8 in, and the seat pan is 19 3/4 in wide, with 17 3/4 in from its front edge to the backrest. M5 is the tilt fitted as standard, with a single lock at the working position and free rocking the rest of the time; an M3 or an M4 can be specified instead. The body is rigid structural polyurethane over cold-molded foam, the arms are integrated, and the chair weighs 44 lb.

Where the four armchairs go decides which one to order. Facing the desk, for clients, we tend to use the Skill model on four aluminum spokes with glides, adjustable from 31 1/2 to 34 5/8 in, or the one on tapered legs, painted V6 black or finished in a Quinti color, which starts at four pieces. Around a conference table the Leggera works on casters (4R) as well as glides (4P), and the painted wood swivel, offered in natural, walnut, mocha or a black open-pore stain, holds a fixed 31 1/2 in. All of them sit easily in an executive office suite alongside the tall chair. La Mercanti draws the tall chair and each armchair onto the floor plan, seat by seat, before the order.

FAQ

Are the arms on Not Guilty a separate component?

No. On all five versions the arms are integrated into the chair rather than bolted on, from the tall-back chair down to the tapered-leg model. Quinti lists them that way for every code in the series, tall back and armchairs alike.

Can a designer download a 3D model of Not Guilty?

Yes. The Quinti product page offers an OBJ model for download, together with high-resolution images and the technical data sheet, so the chair can be dropped straight into a floor plan or a rendering.

Does Not Guilty carry any fire approval at all?

It carries the Italian 1IM approval for reaction to fire, listed on the Quinti data sheet under product certificates. No other fire test is declared for this series anywhere in the 2026 price book.

Which Quinti covers can’t be ordered on Not Guilty?

Six of them. Quinti’s 2026 price book marks Crepè, Laser, Chili, Melange, category 6 leather and Horo as not feasible on this series, in a note printed on its materials page; every other cover stays available.

How heavy are the Not Guilty chairs and armchairs?

The tall-back chair weighs 44 lb. Every armchair in the series comes in at 33 lb, whether it rests on the Skill base, the Leggera, the painted wood swivel or the tapered legs, according to Quinti’s 2026 price book.

Building a Not Guilty order code from the floor up

Five codes, five bases, then the mechanism: how a Not Guilty order is put together, step by step, using the options printed in the Quinti price book.

Start from the Not Guilty base

The code begins with the base. QX222700S is the only one on a five-spoke Skill base with casters; QX223K00S takes Skill with four spokes on glides, swiveling with height adjustment.

Choose the tilt for the desk chair

On QX222700S the M5 comes standard, locking only in the working position. The M4 and the M3 both add four locking positions; they differ in finish, black on the M4, bright on the M3, and either replaces the M5 on request.

Glides or casters: 4P or 4R

QX223R00S is mounted on the Leggera, a swivel base with four spokes, 26 3/4 in across, that also adjusts in height. Its code ends in 4P for glides or 4R for casters, so the choice is written into the order itself.

Pick the wood for QX223V00S

The fourth code turns on a painted wooden base with four spokes, in walnut (NC), natural (RN), moka (RT) or open-pore black (NP). It keeps a fixed 31 1/2 in overall, with the seat at 17 3/4 in.

Tapered legs: V6 or VQ

Four tapered legs carry QX223100S. V6 is the black-painted frame; VQ brings in the Quinti color range and requires a minimum of four pieces per order, for a set that matches.
