When specifying furniture for hospitality projects, comfort, flexibility and durability are all top of mind. These lounge seating collections by Blå Station, Flexform, Cassina and de Sede are ready to bring high style to high-traffic spaces.
The single square volume that is the basis of the Rut modular lounge seating system — designed by Thomas Bernstrand and Stefan Borselius for Blå Station — can be used multiple times in multiple directions to build linear, left- or right-turning, back-to-back and other compositions. Supported by a hefty steel H-beam and two or more solid oak girders, Rut can be equipped with armrests, writing tablets and electrical outlets.
