LOUNGE - WORK

MEET AND RETREAT

Today it is generally acknowledged that work can be done more productively and efficiently

in relaxed, informal situations, and that a homely atmosphere is particularly well suited for

certain activities – meetings, brainstorming sessions, concentrated individual work, reading,

creative relaxation – where it can also give rise to new inspiration. This realization has led

to a shift in the design of offices, where homely elements and furniture are now consciously

incorporated to an ever greater extent. Sofas and armchairs are places of retreat in these

environments, enabling a brief moment of respite, informal communication, inner thought and

the completion of tasks in a focused manner. In the modern office, characterized by

different spatial situations and types of furniture, a zone for Lounge Work is a matter of

course.

Vitra is promoting Lounge Work with a range of products designed especially for

working in relaxed positions.

Alcove Work is a new sofa workstation for concentrated individual work.

The space is formed on the one hand by extra-high backrests and sides, and a fixed, leather-

covered writing shelf with integrated cable ducts on the other. The shelf forms a stable, non-

slip surface for working on a computer. At the same time, it forms the top of a practical box

with storage space for materials and office utensils. The firm seat and backrest upholstery of

Alcove Work enables users to sit in an upright, table-oriented position.

ALCOVE HIGHBACK SOFA

RONAN AND ERWAN BOUROULLEC, 2006

The Alcove Highback Sofa is the perfect retreat for concentrated work or a confidential

meeting in a small group. With its characteristic, extra-high backrests and sides, it shields

users from both visual and acoustic stimuli. It is ideally suited for use in the open space

office, where its special qualities form a room within a room. This effect is particularly

apparent when two Alcove Highback Sofas are placed directly opposite one another.

ANTONIO CITTERIO, 2010

Sleek, geometrically pristine shells and bridge-like bases made of polished aluminium

dominate the formal features of the Suita sofa system. The Suita Club Sofa and the Suita

Club Armchair are specially designed for use in offices, lobbies and waiting areas. They

stand out through their firm, particularly durable padding that ensures a high level of comfort

without the need for additional cushions. There is also the option of adding a high headpiece

to the Suita Club Sofa, giving even stronger definition to the inner space of the sofa and

evoking a shielding effect.
