Chic
Designers will appreciate the quality and sustainable attributes of the new collection. Materials include responsibly sourced hardwood and high-density foam for continuous comfort over time. The Lounge Collection is manufactured with 90% hydraulic power. Also, we minimize waste by boxing on demand and using a machine that ensures little to no waste when cutting fabric.
Soothing neutrals, soft or vibrant colors, and versatile textures are available throughout the Collection with more than 40 upholsteries, a variety of paints, and ample base finishes. See pricelist for specification choices.
Brianne Devine, vice president of product management, design, and strategic partnerships, stated, “We’re excited to continue our portfolio expansion with this robust new Lounge Collection our valued dealers and customers have asked for. As designers work to make office environments even more comfortable and inviting through organic shapes and beautiful tactile materials, we’re pleased to offer more seating and tables choices with a high-level of craftsmanship, integrated finishes, and meaningful variety.”
