Collection: Breakout Chairs

Casual Seating for Breakout Spaces

Learn more

Breakout chairs are light commercial seating designed for informal office areas including staff lunch rooms, collaborative hubs, and casual meeting zones. They prioritise comfort for shorter-duration use rather than the ergonomic adjustment of a full task chair. Options include tub chairs, accent chairs, and stackable occasional seating in fabric and upholstered finishes.

Products in this collection are durable enough for a commercial environment but styled for an informal context. Many are stackable or lightweight for easy rearrangement as the space changes use.

Breakout chairs pair well with bar tables for standing-height collaborative zones. For full informal area fitouts, see breakout packages. For softer lounge-style configurations, see office lounge seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about this office furniture collection? Here are some answers to help. If you need anything further, our team is here to help.

Breakout chairs are casual commercial seating used in informal areas of an office including staff lunch rooms, collaborative hubs, and relaxation zones. They are designed for shorter-duration sitting than a full task chair and prioritise comfort and flexibility over ergonomic adjustment. Common formats include tub chairs, lightweight occasional chairs, and stackable accent seating.

Commercial-grade breakout chairs are built for shared daily use in a professional environment, which is a different standard to residential or consumer-grade occasional furniture. Key indicators of commercial durability include a steel or reinforced plastic frame, commercial-grade upholstery with a high rub count, and a manufacturer's warranty covering commercial use. Check these specifications before purchasing for a high-rotation breakout area.

Most breakout chairs in the OFC range are specified for indoor commercial use and are not rated for outdoor or covered outdoor environments. Some products with hard shell polypropylene seats may tolerate covered outdoor areas but should not be exposed to direct weather. Contact the OFC team to confirm suitability for a specific outdoor or semi-outdoor application.
