by Rebecca Walker — February 25, 2009—Keilhauer’s new stacking/side chair, called, “Flit” is a softer, friendlier, more comfortable approach to stackers, according to Mike Keilhauer the president of the company.
“Flit’s thin profile is a result of clever design that creates a surprisingly comfortable and generously proportioned chair,” he said. “It offers the comfort and style of a fully-upholstered chair, with the functionality of a high-density stacker.”
A knit mesh forms the back, which flexes to the body’s contours and ensures that there is minimal contact with its tubular steel frame. “I selected careful geometry to produce this result,” explained Derek McLeod, who designed the chair. “The upholstered seat wraps a thin line over the frame, rolling down at the front to remove any leg pressure, and curving at the back for maximum comfort and support.”
Flit is available as a chair, counter stool or bar stool and is offered with and without arms. It is also available on glides or casters. The chairs and stools with arms have armcaps made of black urethane or elegantly sculpted hardwood maple. The wood armcaps can be stained in any of Keilhauer’s standard wood stains, or custom stained to match other pieces in an installation, notes the company.
For the knit mesh back, specifiers may choose from four fresh, neutral colors. The tubular steel frame is available in Keilhauer’s powder coat colors, or chrome.
As with all Keilhauer seating products, Flit has received GREENGUARD
Indoor Air Quality certification, and is backed by Keilhauer’s standard ten-year warranty.
