After launching the Aline skid-base chair in 2004, which has since won many awards, Wilkhahn and designer Andreas Störiko have now developed the range even further to create a complete product family by adding bar height stools and swivel office chairs, as well as tables in low, sitting and standing height. Aline is therefore particularly suitable for furnishing "break-out spaces" combining an informal atmosphere with professional use: for example, showrooms and consultation spaces, areas for breaks, lounges and bistros, libraries and internet cafés or a private dining area and home office.

The graceful transparency of the chairs and the slender structure of the tables create a loose and light ambience that extends an invitation to linger and chat. An atmosphere that scores points due to aesthetic quality, comfort and ingenious functionality.

Aline skid-base chair (design: Andreas Störiko): successful and winner of numerous awards # the Aline skid-base chair has been used as the basis for additions to the range

Counter/bar height stool
Consistent with the principle of the skid-base, the cantilevered seat and back frames (optionally with armrests) covered in high-performance mesh, also through-dyed in the black, grey or white, connect to a bright chromium-plated round steel frame by means of an ingenious construction. The base and frame thus form a stable structural grid, integrating a recessed footrest bar with slender cross sections.

Ideal for informal areas for breaks, meetings and bistros: the new Aline bar/counter height stool

Office and visitor swivel chairs
For the swivel and office chairs (optionally with armrests), a specially developed single-section seat frame has been used: a structural four-arm spur, incorporating where applicable a height adjustment control lever, fits directly to the swivel pedestal. A low-profile, four-star base with glides (visitor swivel chair) or a five-star base with castors (office swivel chair), both in bright chromium-plated aluminium, ensure high stability. The seat and back frames are through-dyed in black, grey or white and have a mesh covering in the same colour; the swivel pedestals are bright chromium-plated.

The Aline swivel and office chairs complete the Aline family for applications in meeting spaces and for temporary workplaces

Tables
Tables of all heights feature a low-profile, four-star base in bright chromium-plated aluminium, a central column and a slender 12 mm HPL top surface, through-dyed in black or white. Surface protection for stain and mark-free performance. A fascinating, optional feature: high tables have a slot in the top surface and an additional slip-free separator allow up to three tables to stack compactly. Table formats in low and standing height (435 cm / 105 cm) are either square (60 x 60 cm) or circular (diameter 70 cm); sitting height tables (73 cm high) are somewhat larger: 70 x 70 cm or 75 cm in diameter.

The circular and square top pedestal tables in low, sitting and standing height are perfectly coordinated with Aline chair models

High tables affording compact storage: tables have a slot in the top surface allowing them to stack compactly

All Aline models are available in 11/2006.
