Reception / break-out seating
Reception and break-out furniture is used in lobbies, waiting areas, and the parts of an office that are used for breaks and informal meetings. Read More
The armchairs, sofas and desks specified for a reception area will be chosen to make an impression on visitors in the short time they are sitting there. Designers will often be briefed to reflect a company’s corporate identity and provide a welcoming atmosphere for guests.
Break-out spaces offer a place for employees to leave their workstations and relax. As well as for a moment of downtime before returning to work, the chairs, sofas and modular seating used for these areas are also suited to informal chats and spontaneous meetings.
Designing good break-out spaces can lead a pleasant, satisfying work environment that will retain key staff and ultimately to a more productive business.
For areas where larger numbers of people circulate and wait, such as airports, concourse / public area seating is specified.
