The lounge furniture is not just a part of a reception anymore. Soft seaters now play a key role in the workplace. Since offices become more like home, employees tend to choose sofas, lounge chairs, and armchairs as a place for an informal meeting or work, rest, and communication with colleagues. Thus, NARBUTAS extends a Red Dot winner lounge collection TWIST&SIT and presents novel TWIST&SIT Soft models.
According to designers Christina Strand and Niels Hvass, authors of the award-winning collection previously called TANGO, the new seaters retain the iconic design features, yet it offers a softer and more relaxing feeling, like being and working at home.
“TWIST&SIT Soft invites you to stop, sit down, and relax. When creating the system, we wanted to reflect the hygge, cozy, warm and homey atmosphere in the office. A wide variety of colors, low-back and high-back models, and additional practical accessories make you feel welcome,” says members of Danish design studio Strand+Hvass.
The collection is comprised of various seaters available in different sizes. TWIST&SIT Soft ranges from one-seater lounge chairs to two-seater or three-seater sofas that come in low-back or high-back versions. Low-back lounge chairs and sofas are ideal for office reception areas or open-plan relaxation spaces, lounge zones, or cafés. This type of seaters fosters collaboration between people.
High-back seaters are a convenient solution for employees who need a private space where they can remove themselves from the office environment and relax or focus on individual tasks. These seaters can also be used as a space divider to visually separate office spaces. High-back seaters may also come with optional accessories: the round-shaped wooden knob or a swivel table.
As claimed by Simonas Savickas, Workplace Design Specialist at NARBUTAS, soft seating in offices creates a space where people want to be.
“Different models of the collection represent the changes that take place in offices today. Not only a desk is a place of work, as lounge furniture – a place to rest. TWIST&SIT Soft adapts to these changes and, thus, meets the diverse needs of employees. The lounge seaters create an open, diverse, and lively culture. The coziness that it brings builds an engaging community within a company.”
With its expressive design, the novel lounge furniture is an invitation to pause and to take a break from the hectic pace of the day. These lounge seaters allow you to transition smoothly from individual tasks that require some level of concentration to team meetings or chatting with colleagues to catch up on the latest news while enjoying a cup of coffee.
