Armchair Vera for Professional Catering Staff

An armchair designed for the rest periods of professional catering staff, the BHS Armchair Vera provides adjustable seating that supports posture during breaks. The chair's height adjusts to fit different users and worktop heights, allowing staff to sit comfortably whether they are taking a short pause or reviewing service notes.

The operating principle is simple: a gas-lift mechanism raises or lowers the seat while the user's weight keeps the chair stable. The backrest and armrests follow the movement, maintaining support without requiring manual reconfiguration. This method ensures quick adjustment between shifts without interrupting workflow.

To use the Armchair Vera, the operator sits and presses the lever beneath the seat to unlock the height mechanism. The seat then moves smoothly to the desired position, where releasing the lever locks it in place. The armrests provide additional support when leaning forward to review orders or when rising from the chair.

Construction consists of a steel frame for stability, with a padded seat and backrest for comfort. The materials are chosen to withstand frequent use in a catering environment, where spills and cleaning agents are common. The armrests are fixed, offering consistent support without moving parts that could require maintenance.

The size of 560 mm width allows the chair to fit through standard doorways and into staff rest areas without obstructing movement. The weight of 3210 g makes it light enough to reposition when reorganising the space, yet heavy enough to remain stable during use. The height range of 440 to 830 mm accommodates users of different statures and allows the chair to be tucked under worktops when not in use.

Cleaning involves wiping the seat, backrest and armrests with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The steel frame can be cleaned with the same solution, ensuring the chair remains hygienic for staff use. The gas-lift mechanism should be kept free of debris to maintain smooth operation.

The Armchair Vera is categorised under catering furniture, specifically seating for staff rest areas and break rooms.
