In office design and construction projects, selecting the right department head chair is not only about functionality but also has a direct impact on the company’s image and style. Department head chairs are often placed in highly visible locations such as management offices, team meeting rooms, or the company’s reception area. As such, these chairs must provide comfort and support for the user’s health while blending harmoniously with the overall interior design, projecting professionalism in the eyes of both clients and employees.

To prepare a reasonable Bill of Quantities (BOQ) that optimizes costs without compromising quality, architects, contractors, and Design & Build teams need a clear understanding of product segments, the characteristics of each type, and their respective budget ranges. With this knowledge, budget allocation within the overall project becomes easier, avoiding waste or overspending.

1. Why choose a department head chair that matches the budget?

1.1. Ensuring design consistency and overall aesthetics

The department head chair is part of the company’s “interior identity.” Choosing the right style, color, and material helps create a cohesive, professional space. In modern office design, harmony between the department head chair, desk, storage cabinets, and decorative elements plays a key role in achieving a sophisticated, upscale atmosphere.

1.2. Optimizing overall project costs

In large-scale office projects, every interior element affects the total budget. Categorizing chairs by position (executive – department head – staff) allows for clearer budget control. For example, in departments with many mid-level managers, selecting mid-range department head chairs can both save costs and meet functional needs.

1.3. Meeting functional and ergonomic requirements

A quality chair not only provides a comfortable seating experience but also supports spinal alignment, reducing neck, shoulder, and back strain during long hours of work. Particularly, ergonomic models or premium leather swivel chairs can boost work efficiency and minimize long-term health risks.

2. Common department head chair segments by budget

2.1. Budget segment (under 3 million VND)

In this price range, products often feature PU leather or high-grade fabric upholstery, with plastic-reinforced or powder-coated steel bases. Designs are simple, focusing on basic functions like swivel, height adjustment, and, in some cases, slight reclining. Suitable for SMEs, startups, or projects requiring quick completion at minimal cost. The biggest advantage is affordability and fast delivery.

2.2. Mid-range segment (3–7 million VND)

The most popular choice for projects, as it strikes a balance between aesthetics, durability, and cost. Products use high-quality industrial leather resistant to peeling, with chrome-plated steel or die-cast aluminum frames. Common features include deep reclining, flexible height adjustment, and padded armrests. Ideal for mid-level managers, department heads, or offices aiming for a more upscale image compared to the budget segment.

2.3. Premium segment (over 7 million VND)

Chosen for senior management areas or high-end office spaces. These chairs typically use imported genuine leather or premium microfiber leather, feature ergonomic designs that support the spine and neck, sturdy aluminum alloy swivel bases, and PU casters to protect flooring. Many models also include multi-point reclining, lumbar support, and headrests, ensuring maximum seating comfort.

3. Criteria for selecting a department head chair for the BOQ

3.1. Material and durability

For long-term projects, opt for anti-peeling industrial leather in the mid-range segment and genuine leather in the premium segment. Frames should be chrome-plated steel or aluminum alloy to ensure longevity and stability.

3.2. Design and features

Department head chairs should have high backs, thick cushioning, and sturdy armrests to provide proper support during extended sitting. Features such as reclining, height adjustment, and 360° swivel enhance comfort during work.

3.3. Compatibility with other furniture

The chair should complement the department head desk, storage cabinets, and overall office color palette. This not only creates a harmonious workspace but also elevates the company’s brand image.
