Dais seamlessly blends sustainability and style. Crafted with an FSC-certified ash frame and featuring a distinctive bio-based foam seat, Dais minimizes material use while maximizing comfort. Designed without fossil-based materials, this minimalist chair offers a design-forward, eco-friendly seating solution for common areas, office lounges, lobbies, and more.

Abl is a mid-back lounge chair with an ash base that provides a soft-yet-sculptural sensibility to the workplace lounge. Swaddled by draped arms and a protective curved back, this beautiful lounge chair enables individuality to thrive in the workplace by fostering moments of reflection and focused flow. The Abl lounge chair is accompanied by an optional matching ash-based ottoman that also features the unique draping effect found in the chair’s construction.

Swish redefines workplace seating with its modern yet approachable design. Encouraging collaboration and connection, this versatile lounge chair combines an ultra-plush seat cushion with a slender backrest, creating a striking silhouette and fostering dynamic social interactions among colleagues.

Performative in essence, Toob challenges conventional lounge chair design with its thin, airy frame juxtaposed against bold, geometric upholstered elements. This tension between lightness and structure creates a commanding presence, making Toob a standout focal point in any space.
