Vietnam Office Chair

Admin October 08, 2026

Vietnam has clear standards for determining the dimensions of office chairs, and some well-known corporate offices have applied various brands of office chairs.

Dimension Determination Standards: The Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality (STAMEQ) of Vietnam issued TCVN 14536:2025 'Office Furniture - Office Chairs - Dimension Determination Methods' on December 30, 2025. This standard specifically targets office chair products within the office furniture sector, detailing the methods and technical requirements for dimension determination. Its content covers the measurement procedures for key geometric indicators such as seat height, depth, and backrest shape. For example, the determination of seat height takes into account the angle between the user's legs and the ground when seated to ensure a comfortable sitting posture that conforms to ergonomic principles; the determination of seat depth ensures that the user's buttocks can fully fit the seat while providing sufficient support for the legs; the determination of backrest shape involves aspects such as the curvature and inclination angle of the backrest to provide good lumbar support. This standard provides important technical references for the production design, quality control, and market circulation of office chairs, helping to standardize the Vietnamese office chair market and improve product quality.

Practical Application Case: In the Synopsys office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, various brands of office chairs are used, including the Very ergonomic office chair from Haworth. Ergonomic office chairs are typically designed according to ergonomic principles, enabling them to better fit the human body's curves, provide comfortable support, and reduce fatigue and discomfort caused by prolonged sitting. As a well-known office furniture brand, Haworth's Very ergonomic office chair demonstrates high standards in both design and quality, meeting the comfort and functionality requirements of the Synopsys office for office chairs. This also reflects the increasing acceptance and demand for high-quality office chairs in the Vietnamese market, while providing a reference example for other companies when choosing office chairs.
