SPACE SOLUTIONS:
Lounge and Relaxation
The term lounge furniture is losing a bit of its meaning. That’s because lounge furniture has become such an important part of any office design that it has simply become “furniture” — it is what everyone seems to be designing for, especially as workers return to the office, but don’t want to return to the same old space. Companies are investing in lounge furniture to give workers choice in how and where they work, but also creating spaces away from desks and the main work zone to create more space and more comfort. Here are a few trends in lounge furniture worth study.
Global - Wind Linear™
Wind Linear is an extension of Global's very popular Wind freestanding soft seating series of sofas and arm chairs. Seating units can be linked together using bridge tables to create infinite configurations.
Global - Wind™
The simple geometry and slim proportions of the Wind lounge furniture series creates a relaxed and open atmosphere even when space is at a premium.
Global - Wind Linear™ Tables
Wind Linear Tables is the perfect extension to Wind Linear freestanding soft seating series of sofas and arm chairs. The seating is connected with the letter box tables to create the linear arrangements that define the latest trend in office and hospitality lounge environments.
Where does the office end and the living room begin? It’s getting hard to tell, especially when roaming the halls of theMART. Furniture that feels like home continues to be a hot trend and no where was that more apparent than in Chicago. In a post-COVID world, no one wants to return to the same drab office. The way people want to work is changing too. Several years spent working at home means workers expect offices to feel more inviting and NeoCon exhibitors embraced this.

Much has been made about the great resignation. And it’s true — workers still have the upper hand in today’s labor market. Simply put, if they don’t like where they work, they will find someplace they like better. One way to attract and retain employees is to create lounge settings that provide options for where and how they work. Perhaps they want to work at their desk part of the day, but retreat to a lounge setting for a few hours to casually connect with co-workers or take a coffee break. The key word for creating an attractive lounge setting is choice. Give workers comfortable choices and they will reward their employers with loyalty.
