Trade terms for professionals and design studios

Under the Comfort version of The Season, Quinti lists one project: Peserico, the fashion house in Vicenza. Under the Slim version, another: 1989 Studio in Milan. Two rooms, two skins of the same chair, and a producer who shows where it went rather than describing what it could do. For an American buyer who cannot sit on it before ordering, that is the closest thing to a showroom.

What the two projects share is the frame, and the frame is what places it among executive office chairs rather than task seating: a 1 in steel tube, chrome or black, where no screw is visible, closed at the ends with aluminum caps and fitted at the back with an aluminum handle. Seat and back rest on a thin, soft Eurolene shell, and the cushion is a separate layer held by hook-and-loop: 1.6 in of 3.7 lb/ft³ foam under a double seam at Peserico, 0.6 in under horizontal stitching at 1989 Studio. A third option, Net, swaps the cushion for heat-welded PVC mesh, black or white. The standard tilt is the M5, a single lever for height and locking, plus a knob for tension; a weight-sensing M5A and a forward-pivot M3/M4 are on the list.

Ordering comes down to where the chair will stand. For the seat behind the desk in an executive office: high back, M5, Leggera five-star casters. For a manager at their own desk, a mid back on the M8 swivel plate, which lifts but does not tilt, on the same casters. For the visitor side of the desk and the conference table, that mid back on the Shop four-star base, which stays where it is placed. Metal comes in AL chrome or V6 black; covers run from category 2 to 8; Quinti states a six-year guarantee. La Mercanti attaches the two references to the quote for US clients, city and company as Quinti prints them.

FAQ

How thick is the padding on The Season Comfort?

1.6 in (4 cm) of expanded polyurethane at a density of 60 kg/m³, upholstered and sewn with a double seam, then fixed with velcro to the Eurolene support. It is the version Quinti describes as comfortable and representative.

Is there a weight-activated mechanism for The Season?

Yes, the M5A: a single-lever tilt with gas lift and lock in working position whose body is entirely in polished aluminum and which sets its tension from the user’s weight, with no wheel to turn. It is an option on the high and medium backs with the Leggera base.

What size are the casters on The Season?

Ø 65 mm (2.6 in), in black nylon with a twin tread, fitted to the Leggera five-star base. The Shop four-star base uses glides instead of casters; both bases measure 680 mm (26.8 in) across.

What are the overall dimensions of The Season?

27.6 in wide with a 18.9 in seat, 28.3 in deep with a 18.5 in seat, according to the Quinti data sheet. The high back stands 42.1 to 45.3 in tall, the medium back 35.8 to 39 in, with the seat between 16.5 and 20.5 in on the gas lift.

Is The Season tested to a European office chair standard?

The 2026 price list marks Comfort and Slim as tested to EN 1335 type C; the Net page carries the EN 1335 C mark as well. Quinti does not declare ANSI/BIFMA figures for this chair.
