Arcadia has introduced TOOtheLOUNGE, a visually compelling collection of booth and lounge seating options that combine the comforts of home with the functional necessities of the workplace, all while fostering a sense of community.
Modern and linear in its aesthetic, the extensive offering boasts versatile design elements, exceptional comfort and the ability to effortlessly adapt as a temporary workplace, collaboration zone or private area for quiet focus. Ideal for a variety of project typologies, TOOtheLOUNGE delivers on all fronts - catering to single users or accommodating any number of small or large-scale groupings when multiplied and configured with other models.
Licensed from TOOtheZOO, a Dutch manufacturer known for their forward-thinking designs, this series marks the second collaboration between the two companies to bring inventive Northern European styling to the American market, and the first of which to feature such a breadth of seating, table and panel combinations.
Single lounge units are available in 36", 41", 60" and 72" widths, providing roomy comfort for short-term stays or long-term use. All models are standard with upholstered back panels as well as plinth bases that may be specified in upholstery, white oak veneer or laminate selections, providing designers with a broad spectrum to create striking visuals and custom aesthetics. 36" and 41" lounge models may also be outfitted with a generously-sized table along with a cubby featuring integrated storage and power capabilities, while additional upholstered privacy panels – available in two widths – can be added to any unit to create more enclosed spaces and achieve the desired level of isolation.
As a hybrid meeting/touchdown solution, two-seat booths deliver a relaxed, casual enclave for engaging with others without requiring the need for a custom build-out. Along with the standard table, two cubby storage areas and two power units come standard, and an optional adjoining panel may be specified to allow for additional privacy as needed.
Cubby and table top surfaces are available in a choice of white oak veneer and laminate in a range of colors to complement plinth bases, while an optional – and sizeable – light fixture is available in a universally appealing crisp white tone.
Providing even more versatility are adjustable elements that allow each visitor to make the space their own. Table tops slide forward and backward with ease to achieve just the right depth, and a height adjustable option is also available that allows the desired level of elevation to be set with the push of a button. Light fixtures may be affixed to any upholstered panel and likewise, can be easily maneuvered and placed where needed at any given time.
“TOOtheLOUNGE truly has it all,” states Tammie Alciatore, Arcadia’s Director of Marketing. “Great care has been taken to create a comfortable space that can be adapted for anyone while providing thoughtful, functional elements such as the built-in cubby and power unit. The timing couldn’t be more right for this collection and we’re excited to see where it takes us.”
As public areas have evolved and the need for flexibility is more important than ever, solutions must emerge that can pivot with ease to meet different demands. TOOtheLOUNGE answers that call by providing stylish, adaptive environments that simultaneously nurture creativity, collaboration and focus.
