Linate

Step back in time with Linate—the original signature chair that launched in 1987, the same year Via Seating was born. A true classic, Linate combines timeless design with exceptional structural integrity, making it a standout choice for a variety of spaces, from contemporary offices to more traditional settings. Its refined silhouette & enduring craftsmanship ensure both style & durability, offering a seating solution that remains as relevant today as it was at its inception. Available in high & mid-back options, the mid-back model also offers jury seating configurations, providing added versatility for courtroom & institutional settings. Linate is a testament to Via Seating’s legacy of quality, innovation & design excellence.
