Chaddy® Seating
By National
Chaddy was designed to offer extreme flexibility and versatility along with exceptional comfort. Its flip, nest, stack capabilities can be utilized by students and faculty to create dynamic spaces that are practical and comfortable. The sleek profile, beveled seat contours, and optional tablet arm create the perfect combination of style, comfort, and performance for learning environments.
The optional tablet arm can be added to the left or right side making it inclusive of all learners, environments, and learning styles. Its translucent, cross-woven 100% nylon mesh back allows daylight and ventilation to pass through, keeping users cool and supported while creating an airy aesthetic. Available in static or mobile options, Chaddy features a flex back, which reclines 7° and adds unexpected comfort and ergonomic support. Chaddy can stack up to four high for increased storage flexibility and space management.
