A modern lounge interpretation with oversize proportions and shapely curves, Odette – the newest seating collection from Arcadia – provides a welcoming retreat for corporate, higher-education and hospitality settings alike.

Robust in both its overall appearance and its unsurpassed comfort, Odette was intended to mimic the feeling of a warm embrace. Its gently-reclined back and generous, deep-set seat cushion invite visitors to unwind and feel at ease, while finely stitched seams add a crisply tailored finish to its fluid contours.

Designed by Gower + Woolf, an integrative firm known for their research-driven designs and emphasis on simplicity of form, the series was conceived to fill an emerging need in the market for a more contemporary approach to collaboration.

“Our original intent was to simply move away from the heavy lounge pieces often found in traditional collaborative settings, then as the design evolved, it became clear that the way to achieve this was to drill-down to a more organic shape,” says product designer Andrew Gower. “By incorporating curves and larger proportions in combination with a thinner back shell, we were able to retain a soft, relaxed quality while at the same time eliminating excess material.”

Available in mid or high back styles, Odette may be specified with a ½" steel wire rod base or polished aluminum swivel base with an automatic self-return. A wide assortment of metal finishes are also available in colors ranging from muted pastels to warm neutrals and metallics.

Whether collaborating with colleagues, lounging with friends, or simply enjoying a moment to yourself, Odette provides an inviting place to make your own and reawaken a little joie de vivre.
