After launching the 230 range skid-base chair in 2004, which has since won many awards, Wilkhahn and designer Andreas Störiko have now developed the range even further to create a complete product family by adding bar height stools and swivel office chairs, as well as tables in low, sitting and standing height. 230 range is therefore particularly suitable for furnishing “break-out spaces” combining an informal atmosphere with professional use: for example, showrooms and consultation spaces, areas for breaks, lounges and bistros, libraries and internet cafés or a private dining area and home office.

The graceful transparency of the chairs and the slender structure of the tables create a loose and light ambience that extends an invitation to linger and chat. An atmosphere that scores points due to aesthetic quality, comfort and ingenious functionality.

230 range skid-base chair (design: Andreas Störiko): successful and winner of numerous awards − the 230 range skid-base chair has been used as the basis for additions to the range

Counter/bar height stool
Consistent with the principle of the skid-base, the cantilevered seat and back frames (optionally with armrests) covered in high-performance mesh, also through-dyed in the black, grey or white, connect to a bright chromium-plated round steel frame by means of an ingenious construction. The base and frame thus form a stable structural grid, integrating a recessed footrest bar with slender cross sections.

Ideal for informal areas for breaks, meetings and bistros: the new 230 range bar/counter height stool

Office and visitor swivel chairs
For the swivel and office chairs (optionally with armrests), a specially developed single-section seat frame has been used: a structural four-arm spur, incorporating where applicable a height adjustment control lever, fits directly to the swivel pedestal. A low-profile, four-star base with glides (visitor swivel chair) or a five-star base with castors (office swivel chair), both in bright chromium-plated aluminium, ensure high stability. The seat and back frames are through-dyed in black, grey or white and have a mesh covering in the same colour; the swivel pedestals are bright chromium-plated.

The 230 range swivel and office chairs complete the 230 range family for applications in meeting spaces and for temporary workplaces

Tables
Tables of all heights feature a low-profile, four-star base in bright chromium-plated aluminium, a central column and a slender 12 mm HPL top surface, through-dyed in black or white. Surface protection for stain and mark-free performance. A fascinating, optional feature: high tables have a slot in the top surface and an additional slip-free separator allow up to three tables to stack compactly. Table formats in low and standing height (435 cm / 105 cm) are either square (60 x 60 cm) or circular (diameter 70 cm); sitting height tables (73 cm high) are somewhat larger: 70 x 70 cm or 75 cm in diameter.

The circular and square top pedestal tables in low, sitting and standing height are perfectly coordinated with 230 range chair models

High tables affording compact storage: tables have a slot in the top surface allowing them to stack compactly

All 230 range models are available in 11/2006.
