Dava Lounge Cleverly Blurs the Lines Between Commercial and Residential
Arcadia introduces Dava Lounge, a stylish and exceptionally inviting lounge and ottoman collection inspired by the cozy comforts of home.
Designed in collaboration with longtime partners David Ritch and Mark Saffell of 5D Studio, Dava combines the relaxed, soft and rounded contours typically found in residential seating with defined edges and tailored stitching details to create a silhouette that cleverly blurs the lines between commercial and residential.
Mid- and high back lounge models feature generously proportioned seat and back cushions to create a plush feel, while gently curving arms provide additional comfort and support for various seated positions. Each component is thoughtfully designed to be both visually appealing and pleasing to the touch, down to the last detail.
The accompanying ottoman shares the same design aesthetic and serves multiple purposes as a footrest, additional seat or temporary placeholder for odds and ends.
Both the lounge chairs and ottoman are available with an aluminum swivel base that comes standard with an auto-return feature to ensure models are always returned to their proper position for a neat and tidy appearance. A signature angled 4-leg wood base is also offered on lounge units that adds a warm, organic quality while cradling the upholstered elements to create an aesthetically balanced look.
Optional contrasting stitching is available in 12 colors selections, providing even further opportunity for customization and increased visual interest. Similarly, a wide array of wood and metal finish options ensure a winning combination is achieved every time.
“Dava Lounge conveys the comforts of home, but delivers it in a sophisticated package with a streamlined form and well-crafted details that make it a good fi t for all types of settings,” says Casey Journigan, Arcadia’s President. “The chair's quiet casual presence fits seamlessly in both the office and the home. A lounge piece that encourages a casual conversation or a moment of privacy.”
The interplay of soft, curving forms and tailored stitching is at once inviting and sophisticated, and in line with the current trend of adapting a residential look for all types of spaces. Dava simultaneously supports relaxation and collaboration: two principles that may traditionally seem at odds, but can now be one and the same.
