Source International Introduces Chromia: A Celebration of Color, Comfort, and Timeless Design

July 14, 2026

SUTTON, Mass. — Source International proudly introduces Chromia, a thoughtfully designed seating collection that celebrates the expressive power of color while delivering exceptional versatility, comfort, and performance for today's evolving commercial environments.

Inspired by the rich tradition of Italian design, Chromia explores the relationship between color, form, and architecture, where every finish becomes an intentional design element.

Color as architecture. Color as structure. Color as emotion.

Chromia features a curated palette of twelve poly shell colors, each thoughtfully paired with complementary powder coat finishes to create a harmonious balance of saturation, depth, and tone. More than simply offering color options, the collection encourages designers to use color as a tool to shape atmosphere, support wayfinding, and create meaningful connections within a space.

Designed by the acclaimed Sydney-based industrial design studiobangdesign, Chromia embodies a philosophy of quiet refinement. Its sculpted shell, softened perimeter edge, and balanced proportions create a seating solution that feels approachable, timeless, and distinctly modern.

"Chromia was designed as a calm response to today's visually busy environments, a refined seating solution that brings simplicity, comfort, and versatility to modern spaces. Through thoughtful proportions and subtle detailing, we wanted to create a chair that feels familiar, inviting, and built to support everyday experiences."

Designed and engineered to perform across a wide range of applications, Chromia offers exceptional flexibility through multiple configurations, including four-leg, sled, swivel, counter and bar height stools, tablet-arm models, upholstered seat pad options, and fully upholstered seating. Lightweight construction and high-density stacking capabilities make the collection an ideal solution for workplaces, educational environments, hospitality settings, training spaces, and collaborative interiors where adaptability is essential.

Beyond its versatility, Chromia reflects Source's commitment to responsible design. The Pearl Grey shell incorporates approximately 55% post-industrial recycled polypropylene, while all other shell colors contain a minimum of30% recycled content. At the end of its useful life, the shell, foam, and metal frame components can be recycled through appropriate recycling streams, supporting a more sustainable, circular product lifecycle.

Whether specified as a guest chair, stool, swivel chair, or tablet-arm solution, Chromia seamlessly integrates into diverse environments while maintaining a consistent and enduring design language.
