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.
Extra-plump cushions and a slender steel frame combine to give the Ambroeus sofa by Antonio Citterio for Flexform an elegant and inviting warmth. The two- or three-seater versions can be arranged in different configurations, while the metal elements can be finished in multiple options, including wrapped in leather for a handsome effect.
Part of the Cassina Pro line of furniture adapted for hospitality (and workspace) settings, the Banquette Mauritanie bench, originally designed by Charlotte Perriand in 1959, features a beautiful wood lattice and metal base that can be left bare or topped with a single two- or three-seater cushion, with or without backrests; it can also be integrated with USB outlets.
Italian studio Archirivolto designed the DS-1030 sofa system for de Sede as an opportunity to mix and match different elements (middle, corner, end, lounge and more), textiles, colourways and tailored detailing (including vertical seams and tufting). The low-slung modules are at once modern and traditional, and cut an attractive figure no matter how they are approached.
Soft seating systems that encourage lingering in busy hotel lobbies and other public spaces.
