About Side Kiti cha Mikutano
Side ni kiti cha mikutano kilichobuniwa kwa ajili ya semina, kozi za mafunzo, mikutano na maeneo ya kusubiri. Kiti hiki kinaweza kupangwa juu ya kingine (stackable) na kinaweza kuunganishwa kwa safu. Kibao cha kuandikia chenye uwezo wa kurudi chenyewe (self-returning) kinapatikana kama chaguo la ziada, kikibadilisha Side kuwa kituo kidogo cha kazi. Mwili wake ni wa muundo wa kipande kimoja (monocoque) uliotengenezwa kwa plastiki, huku fremu ikiwa imetengenezwa kwa alumini na metali nyingine. Mgongo wa kiti wenye unyumbufu, uliotengenezwa kwa polypropylene, hutoa msaada kwa sehemu ya kiuno, wakati kiti chenyewe kimepambwa kwa upole ili kutoa starehe. Side inapatikana katika rangi mbalimbali, ikiwa na au bila mikono ya kutegemeza, na yenye miguu ya kudumu au magurudumu (casters).
