Conference Seating
COALESSE MASSAUD HIGH-BACK
Nick Meter Sales Director
Product: Massaud High-Back Manufacturer: Coalesse
Use it in just about any “impact” conference area. This is the chair that gets noticed when the visitors walk in. It’s also exceptionally comfortable. This is what high-end conference seating should look like- architectural in every way, with classic and minimal lines. As opposed to being an afterthought in appearance, the polished aluminum arms complete the geometry perfectly.

VITRA PHYSIX
Andra Kaleps Sales Executive Product: Physix Manufacturer: Vitra
Physix has clean lines, it is absolutely adorable, it is comfortable and it is timeless. Can’t got wrong. It is one of few chairs that has a continuous-seat shell, allowing for a flexible sit that also provides sufficient support.

Lounge Seating
MONTIS ELLA LOUNGE
Mary Moen Tangram Studio Product: Ella Lounge Manufacturer: Montis
This piece harkens to a time when offices were full of cigar smoke, and three piece suits… A Classic beauty with an edge, something you’d find in Don Draper’s office. It’s as relevant now, as it would have been back then. I love the wooden tripod leg with brass details, it’s truly a work of art. I would have a pair of these babies as guest chairs in front of a grand executive desk. They would also look fantastic in a reception area, offsetting the rididity of the common waiting experience.

Product: YY Chair Manufacturer: Moroso
I love how the hard angles and natural wood tie into each other. I would use this chair in a space with minimal wood. An office heavy in laminate, glass and metal elements can be grounded by its natural aesthetic.

TURNSTONE BUOY
Elizabeth Bradford Designer
Product: Buoy Manufacturer: Turnstone
Turnstone’s Buoy, “designed for today’s movers and shakers,” is a design solution for toe-tapping, fidgeting millennials who want the posture-improving, corestrengthening benefits of a giant rubber fitness ball but don’t want to look like a huge nerd. The Buoy is a great way to add some fun and function to a space! It is the perfect lightweight “pull up a chair” to collaborate with. I love to bring in a pop of color on Buoys scattered throughout a creative office.

Product: Rising Realty Manufacturer: Tangram Studio
Beautiful application of carrying the wood throughout the entire space. The loop legs make tight areas feel light and open. The hot rolled steel butted up to the wood worksurface is a striking look. Allow you to really reflect your brand or work life in the space.
