KI Launches the Sutton Chair, A Homage to Mid-Century Design
KI’s newest addition to their one piece chair collection, pays homage to the timeless mid-century school chair. Reimagined for 2025, this design classic is manufactured in the UK using modern injection-moulding to create a single, durable piece that offers strength and stability.
The result is a future-proof chair that beautifully blends the aesthetics of a classic mixed-material classroom chair with a slick, minimalist design.
KI’s furniture helps the world’s leading organisations create happy, healthy, high performing working and learning environments. Bringing together good design, advanced engineering, and sustainable resources, KI’s products are durable, flexible and offer excellent value.
Sutton is available in classic Iron Grey, as well as Denim, Latte and Terracotta, which were key colours identified by the trend forecasting team at Scarlet Opus for 2025/26. KI has also announced an additional new colour to the collection; Lagoon, which was chosen during Clerkenwell Design Week 2025. Through a voting system, architects and designers who visited the new KI showroom were asked to select their favourite from the following trend-led colours: Maroon, Sports Pink, Lagoon or Sea Green. Lagoon, a teal green-tone, won by 40% and has now been added permanently to the collection.
Built to last, Sutton contains a blend of high-impact resistant glass filled polypropylene with gas-injection techniques for outstanding strength and longevity, hence its 20-year guarantee for structural defects. In line with KI’s other one piece chair collections, Sutton includes recycled content, specifically 30% post-industrial recycled polypropylene.
Sutton is a highly versatile seating solution, perfect for a wide range of settings from offices, hospitality, student accommodation, classrooms, higher and further education. Its stain-resistant, anti-static, and easy-to-clean finish makes it ideal for high traffic areas like cafes, office canteens, break-out spaces, and sixth-form colleges.
There are also features of advanced ergonomics including a waterfall seat edge, a curved backrest, and superior flexibility to maximize user comfort. The Sutton chair is available in two sizes to accommodate different user needs; size 5 (seat height of 430mm) and size 6 (seat height of 460mm). Both of these stack to 6 high on the floor.
