A system of multiple chairs comprising:
- a first one of the at least two chairs;
- a second one of the at least two chairs;
- the at least two chairs each having:
- a frame including legs and a first section defining a first thickness, the legs supporting the first section;
- a seating portion;
- and a backrest portion, the seating portion connected to the first section at the first section of the frame, a width-wise axis passes through the first section and extends from left to right of the at least two chairs and is located between first and second surfaces of said seating portion wherein at least part of said first surface of said seating portion and at least part of said second surface of said seating portion define a first set of two matching profiles and said first surface of said seating portion is a seating surface, and a second thickness measured between said first and second surface of the seating portion is greater than the first thickness;
- the first one of the at least two chairs configured to stack on the second one of the at least two chairs such that the at least part of the second surface of the second one of the at least two chairs is in contact with the at least part of the first surface of the first one of the at least two chairs such that the first sections of the at least two chairs are spaced apart and the legs of the at least two chairs are spaced apart.
