Draughtsman Chairs & Stools
A draughtsman chair provides the extra lift you need to work comfortably at elevated desktops such as raised counters, benches or standing desks. While our standard office chairs are designed to suit regular desk heights from 710-760mm, these tall office chairs take it to the next level with seat heights of up to 800-900mm. You’ll enjoy a more upright way of working without compromising on ergonomic adjustability and lumbar support.

WHAT IS A DRAUGHTSMAN CHAIR?
A draughtsman chair is an extra-tall office chair designed for use at elevated work surfaces that are higher than a regular office desk. Also known as a drafting chair, it can provide up to 30cm of additional seat height compared to a standard ergonomic office chair. Draughtsman office chairs feature a built-in circular foot ring that can be raised or lowered to prevent your legs from dangling and ease the strain on your muscles.
HOW HIGH IS THE SEAT ON A DRAUGHTSMAN OFFICE CHAIR?
Draughtsman office chairs are available in a wide variety of heights. Some are just a little taller than the standard desk chair height of around 42-52cm, while others can be raised up to 85cm or more. This impressive height adjustability makes the draughtsman chair a popular choice for use at sit stand desks as well as in laboratories, workshops or retail cash checkouts.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A DRAUGHTSMAN CHAIR WITH WHEELS?
A draughtsman chair with wheels offers maximum manoeuvrability when you’re multitasking at an ergonomic desk. Combined with a 360° swivel base and height-adjustable footrest, it lets you turn the seat easily to switch between typing and other work. Castor wheels also make it easy to move the drafting chair away from the desk when getting up or sitting back down – this saves you from twisting and putting your spine under any unnecessary strain.
WHEN SHOULD I USE A DRAUGHTSMAN STOOL?
A draughtsman chair with arms and a backrest offers superior posture support for extended spells of sitting down, but office stools are often preferred for more infrequent or casual work. A draughtsman stool offers the same adjustable height benefits, but with unrestricted freedom of movement for more creative tasks. It is especially popular for work that requires regular transitions from sitting to standing or perching, or for short tasks of no more than two hours.
