Office sofas

Workplace becomes cozy, sophisticated

With new needs arising alongside evolving job roles, new collaborative methods, and evolving workspace design, office furniture is adapting to meet these changes. Today, the workplace serves as a platform for companies and professionals to communicate and showcase their values. 

Furniture traditionally associated with residential or hospitality settings has now become an integral part of a company’s brand identity. This shift allows businesses to express their personality through how they welcome guests and provide functional, comfortable environments for team members.

Office sofas designed for relaxation

Modern workspaces often feature a relaxation area for team members - a space to start conversations, unwind, or discuss work-related challenges informally.

This essential area should be furnished with comfortable, inviting pieces that help everyone feel at ease, even for a few minutes. Top picks for bringing home-like comfort to the workplace include the Absolu sofa by Edra, featuring soft upholstery and modeling cushions, and Cassina’s Maralunga sofa, known for its enveloping design and adjustable backrest.

Relaxation areas can also feature modern sofas that have shaped design history. Cassina’s 2 Fauteuil Grand Confort sofa by Le Corbusier - Jeanneret - Perrand or the Utrecht sofa by Gerrit T. Rietveld add a cultured, sophisticated vibe to any office.

Sofas as workstations

The evolving workplace has led to a new focus on versatile, modular furniture designed to meet varying needs throughout the workday. Sofas designed for open spaces, for example, create private zones within larger areas, offering visual and acoustic isolation. 

The Alcove Highback sofa by Vitra exemplifies this trend, featuring a high backrest, a laptop table, and a storage compartment. Similarly, Tacchini’s Chill-Out High sofa is ideal for public spaces, with its high backrest and a minimalist aesthetic.

Sofas for waiting rooms and art galleries

Workspace extends beyond offices, encompassing areas designed to welcome guests and visitors. Public spaces like waiting rooms benefit from minimalist, comfortable sofas crafted by brands such as Knoll, Porada, Cassina, and Luxy.

Art galleries, hotels, and restaurants provide the perfect backdrop for Edra’s exceptional sofas, which combine unconventional shapes with premium-quality materials. Standout pieces include the Boa sofa, with its intertwining loops, and the spiral-shaped Tatlin sofa.
