Conference room chairs for hospitality: the Citybox example

Choosing the right conference room chairs is no longer just about comfort or appearance. In today’s hospitality spaces, furniture must adapt to change. Meeting rooms are used for events, training, interviews, and workshops. One day they host a board meeting, the next a little refreshment or team-building session. And the chairs need to follow this changes.

In these dynamic settings, chairs must be stackable, lightweight, and easy to reposition. They must offer long-term durability while keeping a clean, coherent look, even after intense daily use. And increasingly, they must meet sustainability and safety standards for public environments.

But functionality alone is not enough. A good conference room chair must also be silent in its presence. It should blend in, support the brand’s identity, and make guests feel comfortable, without distracting from the experience.

This is why modern hospitality projects are moving toward seating that is not only flexible, but smart: designed with both people and logistics in mind.

Exactly the kind of challenge Fornasarig knows how to solve.

When Citybox Hotels reimagined their meeting spaces, they needed more than just stylish conference room chairs. They needed a solution that could adapt quickly to different layouts and uses, from small group sessions to full-room presentations.

The answer was Link 60X fabric by Fornasarig. Chosen for its compact design, stackability, and clean silhouette, Link offered the perfect balance between form and function. But what made the difference was its adaptability.

Citybox specifically requested removable writing tablets, to turn standard seating into workstations when needed. Fornasarig responded with a version of Link that integrated this feature seamlessly, maintaining the chair’s minimal aesthetic while boosting its usability.

Whether in Oslo or Bergen, the same model could be used across different properties, ensuring consistency in design and simplifying logistics. The chairs are easy to handle, store, and rearrange, without compromising guest comfort.

A modular hotel needs modular seating, do Fornasarig delivered a chair that was light, ergonomic, and made to move.

While the Citybox case highlights the Link chair in a hospitality setting, its versatility extends far beyond. This same model is used in:

• corporate training rooms, where quick reconfiguration and comfort are key
• educational spaces, where integrated desks and stackability are essential
• cultural venues, where design must be elegant but never intrusive

Across these diverse settings, Link proves that a well-designed conference room chair should not only meet technical requirements, it should elevate the space.

Its monomaterial structure simplifies maintenance. Its modular accessories (writing tablet, armrests, linking system) enhance functionality. Its quiet aesthetic adapts without overpowering.

This is what makes Link more than a chair; it’s a system ready to perform, wherever ideas happen.

For over 145 years, Fornasarig has built chairs that respond to the real needs of public and hospitality spaces. Every collection is the result of engineering expertise, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for how people move through shared environments.

The Link collection reflects this mindset perfectly: a system of chairs created for movement, transformation, and reliability. Whether used in a conference hotel, a university campus, or a cultural venue, Link collection delivers consistency, both in design and in performance.

Fornasarig’s commitment to flexibility goes hand in hand with sustainability and long-term value. From removable accessories to VOC-tested materials and smart stackability, every detail is designed for high-traffic, multi-purpose spaces.

That’s why the brand continues to be trusted by architects and designers worldwide.
Because in contract design, chairs are never just chairs, they’re part of a larger system.

Fornasarig designs that system to last.
