Gwen, Gilmour, Arnold: Office Armchairs Join Dantone Home
Office armchairs join Dantone Home for the first time, three series at once: Gwen, Gilmour, and Arnold. All three are upholstered, height-adjustable, swivel on polished aluminium bases, and built around long working days. What unites them is a single design language: they read as furniture before they read as office equipment, so the home office, wherever it sits in the house, can be part of the room rather than a work zone bolted onto it.
From AED 2,970 – three series in bouclé, velvet, linen blends, and woven fabrics, all height-adjustable, swivel, with two sets of castors in every box for the floor below

"In most homes in Dubai, the desk doesn't sit in a separate office. It's at the edge of a living area, or in a guest bedroom that doubles as a study. The chair has to read as furniture before it reads as equipment, which changes the brief entirely."
Gwen: The Soft Silhouette
Gwen is the most rounded of the three. The arms flow into the back in a single curve, the silhouette stays low, and the proportions stay friendly. The shape doesn't dominate; the back stays open enough to read across an open plan. It's the chair to choose when the office sits inside another room – a corner of the living room, a guest bedroom, a study that doubles as a reading room.
Arnold: The Architectural One
Arnold is the most architectural of the three. The back is sculpted in two planes, with a quiet asymmetry that catches the eye from across the room. It reads as a single object – more sculpture than chair – and earns its place at desks that face the rest of the house.
Gilmour: The Enveloping Curve
Gilmour wraps a little more than Gwen. The back rises higher, the sides shape into a soft wing, and the seat holds the shoulders in view of the screen. It works as the main chair at a real desk – the one used for several hours at a time, with paperwork to handle and calls to take.
Built for the Working Day
- Two sets of castors arrive with every chair – softer TPR for parquet, laminate, and painted floors; harder PP for carpets, stone, and tile. You can pick the pair to match the floor below. The second set stays in the box for whenever the room changes – a different flat, a different rug, a different surface underneath. Castor swaps take a minute. Mismatched castors take a year off a floor.
- Inside the seat, the same care: PPU foam over a spring block, set into a wood-and-plywood frame. The seat holds its shape across a full working day, with the give of a sofa cushion. Widths come in between 70 and 75 cm – enough room to settle into, narrow enough to slide under most desks.
