American campuses invented the tablet-arm chair; Cila Go redraws it with Italian manners. The optional writing tablet — 19.7 × 13.2 inches of HPL — rides a swivelling arm supplied in the same colour as the base, on the five-spoke gas-lift versions of both the chair and the small armchair shell. Swing it in for notes and laptops, swing it away for discussion: the room changes mode without changing furniture, which is exactly what Arper declares the system for — technology-enabled learning in the ever-expanding notion of the classroom.

Around the tablet sits a complete family by Lievore Altherr: the storage base on castors that doubles as a stool, fibre-reinforced nylon bases in black or white, and the Cila collection proper — the enveloping shell on five bases, 47 models across both lines TUV GS certified to EN 16139:2013 level L2. Training rooms, boardrooms — as conference seating —, waiting and visitor seating, the home office: one language. For US projects, La Mercanti drafts the room schedule with delivery times confirmed in writing at order confirmation.

FAQ

Can the stool version replace extra chairs?
That is its declared role: a stool on the storage base with castors and an applied cushion — in fabric, leather, faux leather or the customer's material — that adds informal seating wherever the room needs one more place.
How do the color options combine?
The Cila Go shell comes in five colors, the storage base in four, and the five-spoke nylon base in black or white with color-matched casters: the palette is declared, the combinations are yours.
Which versions carry the gas-lift mechanism?
The five-spoke fiber-reinforced nylon versions — chair and armchair, with or without tablet. Height adjustment belongs to those bases; storage-base versions ride on casters at fixed height.
Is water enough to clean the leather cushion?
No — the sheet rules water out entirely, as it would leave marks. Use quality leather-specific products only, tested on a hidden area with a 24-hour wait.
What routine does the oak-leg base ask for?
Water and neutral soap on a soft white cloth, circular movements, and nothing stronger: commercial stain removers, solvents and abrasives are expressly excluded.

How to phase a Cila fleet across several budget cycles

Five steps to bring the family in over two or three budgets — without the floor ever looking half-done.

Start with the rooms guests see
Give the first cycle to the boardroom and visitor seating: the spaces outsiders judge set the standard for every later phase.
Lock the finishes early
Choose shell colours and coverings in cycle one and repeat them in every later order: a phased fleet reads as one project only if nothing drifts.
Keep a running room ledger
One line per room — version, base, covering, quantity — updated at each phase: order three becomes as easy as order one.
Time deliveries to quiet weeks
Schedule each phase into a low-activity week, with dates confirmed in writing at order confirmation, so no phase lands in your busiest season.
Review before each new cycle
Recount real usage before committing the next budget: a fleet tuned between phases is tuned for years.
