NIMA™ by PS Furniture — NIMA Seating, Built For Every Setting

NIMA Seating, Built For Every Setting

NIMA™ by PS Furniture is a versatile family of seating by Giancarlo Piretti, designed to bring responsive comfort and practical flexibility to a wide range of interiors.

The slogan fits because NIMA is not a single chair limited to one room or one posture. It is a coordinated seating family with multiple base styles, heights, shell colors, finishes and upholstery options. From a stackable desk-height chair for a training room to a counter-height chair for a café or a bar-height chair for a gathering space, NIMA gives specifiers a consistent design language across varied applications.

Comfort That Responds to the User

NIMA’s defining feature is its articulating seat back, engineered by Giancarlo Piretti. When a user leans back, the seat back flexes to respond to the individual’s body and movement. That design supports the product’s central promise: comfortable seating for a broad range of body types without relying on a one-size-fits-all sitting experience.

Every NIMA chair listed by PS Furniture carries a 300-pound weight capacity. The family includes chairs with or without arms and upholstery, allowing buyers to balance comfort, appearance and maintenance needs according to the room.

A Complete Family for Flexible Planning

NIMA includes several configurations for different table heights and room functions. The sled-base desk-height chair measures 33 inches high, while the four-leg desk-height chair provides another familiar option at the same overall height. For elevated surfaces, four-leg counter-height chairs measure 38.5 inches high, and four-leg bar-height chairs measure 44 inches high.

Swivel-base options add movement where users need to turn, reposition or work at changing angles. The swivel-base desk-height chair adjusts from 31 to 36 inches high, and the swivel-base stool adjusts from 37 to 48 inches. Together, these choices make it easier to specify NIMA around desks, counters, collaboration surfaces and hospitality-style settings.

Built for Rooms That Change

Stacking capability gives NIMA practical value beyond its everyday appearance. Sled-base desk-height chairs with or without arms or upholstery can stack up to 20 high on a dolly or five to six high on the floor. Four-leg chairs can stack up to 16 high on a dolly or five to six high on the floor, with versions available with or without casters, arms and upholstery. Four-leg counter-height and bar-height chairs stack five to six high on the floor.

The swivel-base desk-height chair and swivel-base stool are not stackable, making them better suited to dedicated workstations, fixed counters or other locations where movement and adjustability matter more than rapid reconfiguration. This clear distinction helps planners choose the right NIMA model for each part of a project.

One Seating Family, Many Settings

In training spaces, stackable NIMA chairs can support room resets between instruction, group work and presentations. In collaborative spaces, the selection of four-leg, sled-base and swivel configurations lets planners match seating to the way people gather and work. Event and multi-purpose rooms benefit from stackable models that can be stored efficiently between uses.

Counter-height and bar-height NIMA chairs suit café spaces, elevated meeting surfaces and informal gathering areas. The family’s range of base styles and upholstery choices can also help create a coordinated look across healthcare, hospitality and shared-use environments. NIMA does not force every space into the same chair; it gives the project a compatible set of options.

Finish and Upholstery Flexibility

NIMA shells are available in a wide array of colors and finishes, including Ferrari Red among the plastic options. Upholstered versions extend the design range with multiple styles and fabric selections. PS Furniture’s NIMA fabric program includes options from Grade 1 selections, CF Stinson and Momentum Textiles, giving specifiers a practical way to coordinate the chairs with an interior palette.

That range is especially useful for projects that need both visual consistency and functional variety. A designer can specify a shared color direction while using different bases, heights or upholstery treatments to distinguish training, café, collaborative and lounge-adjacent zones.

Who Should Consider NIMA?

• Contract furniture dealers and specifiers: NIMA offers a broad family of configurations within one product program.
• Education and training planners: Stackable desk-height chairs support rooms that need to change layouts regularly.
• Workplace designers: Swivel, four-leg and sled-base options accommodate different work and collaboration patterns.
• Hospitality and café operators: Counter-height and bar-height models extend the family to elevated surfaces.
• Healthcare and multi-purpose facilities: Multiple finishes, upholstery choices and stacking models help address varied room requirements.

What stands out is the combination of responsive comfort and planning flexibility. NIMA brings an articulated back, a 300-pound weight capacity, multiple heights, stackable and mobile options, and a substantial finish program into one recognizable seating family. That is why NIMA seating is built for every setting: not because every room needs the same chair, but because every room can find the right NIMA configuration.
