Tall Seating for Drafting and Bench Work

Learn more

Drafting chairs are height-adjustable task chairs with an extended gas-lift range and a footring to support the legs when seated at elevated work surfaces. They are designed for use at draughting tables, lab benches, counter-height workstations, and standing desk configurations where a standard office chair does not reach the correct working height. Most include lumbar support, backrest adjustment, and a swivel base.

Common environments include design studios, technical workspaces, laboratories, workshops, and any setting where work surfaces are above standard desk height or where the user alternates between sitting and standing positions.

For lower-profile height-adjustable options, see office stools. Drafting chairs are frequently paired with height adjustable desks for fully flexible sit-stand setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

A drafting chair is a height-adjustable task chair with an extended gas-lift range that allows it to reach elevated work surfaces such as draughting tables, lab benches, and counter-height workstations. The key difference from a standard office chair is the height range and the inclusion of a footring to support the legs when seated at height. Standard office chairs typically reach a maximum seat height of 500 mm to 520 mm. Drafting chairs extend to 650 mm or higher.

Drafting chairs are used in design studios, architectural practices, engineering workplaces, laboratories, workshops, fabrication environments, and any setting where work surfaces are above standard desk height. They are also used by individuals who prefer a higher working position at a standard desk or who alternate between a seated and semi-standing posture.

Set the drafting chair so that elbows are at a 90-degree angle when the hands are resting on the work surface, with feet resting flat on the footring. The footring should be positioned so thighs are parallel to the floor or slightly angled downward. Adjust lumbar support to maintain the natural curve of the lower back. The correct height varies depending on the work surface height and the individual user.
