Built for Elevated Work

The Force Drafting is Buro's Force chair raised for elevated workspaces. A breathable mesh back keeps air moving, a height-adjustable lumbar support and gas-lift seat height set your position, and a height-adjustable foot ring in black powder coat gives your feet somewhere to rest. Weight-on locking castors hold the chair in place while you sit and let it roll when you stand up.

Arms come standard. Choose a light grey frame with black mesh and a black seat, or a black frame with black mesh and a grey seat.

Frame Colour

This Listing

Choose the frame: Light grey (light grey frame and base, black mesh, black seat; Buro code 799A-2-M3-AT) or Black (black frame and base, black mesh, grey seat; 799A-3-M3-AT). Both have arms and a black foot ring.

Working at a standard-height desk? The Buro Force mesh office chair is the same design at desk height, with a seat slide. If you are pairing a chair with a sit-to-stand desk, the Buro Knee kneeling chair is another way to vary your posture.

Why We Chose Buro

Buro Seating was founded in Auckland in 1994 and has been part of ACCO Brands since 1 March 2025. It publishes a specification sheet, line drawings and certification details for its chairs, so the figures on this page are Buro's own rather than ours.

Chair Dinkum is an authorised Buro dealer. You can sit in Buro chairs at our Sydney showroom (Shop 1, 209 Harris Street, Pyrmont NSW 2009, by appointment, Mon–Fri 9am–5pm), and we quote whole floors through our commercial fit-out team on 02 9640 0642.

Frequently Asked Questions

The seat runs from 665 to 915 mm, which suits counters, benches, reception desks and sit-stand desks raised to a perching height. The foot ring adjusts so your feet stay supported.

The castors lock when your weight is on the seat, so the chair does not roll away at height, and roll again when you stand up.

No. Buro lists a one-lever mechanism for seat height only. If you want a seat slide at desk height, the Buro Force mesh office chair has one.

Buro's specification sheet describes the arms as height and width adjustable. Arms are fitted on both colours.

Yes. Book a time at our Sydney showroom in Pyrmont (Mon–Fri 9am–5pm, by appointment) or call 02 9640 0642.
