Arranging Lounge Furniture With No Armrests and Fsco Bases
Begin with the social relationship the seating should support. People waiting independently may need a different arrangement from colleagues gathering for a brief discussion. Without armrests, the seating sides do not provide that particular division, so orientation and spacing deserve close attention. Review the actual form of each piece and consider how occupants will understand the available places. Include the base beneath the seat in the assessment, especially where neighboring pieces sit close together. An attractive front view should be checked against the side and oblique views people encounter while approaching the lounge.
Compare Neighboring Edges Carefully
Open seating sides can create different relationships depending on the shape and position of adjacent furniture. Assess whether the space between pieces is intended as a passage, a separation or part of the conversation setting. For lounge furniture with no armrests and fsco bases, compare both the seating edges and the bases beneath them. Do not assume that pieces can meet, connect or form a continuous seating arrangement. Those characteristics require their own confirmation. Review the proposed group with people seated so that the relationship between places is assessed through use as well as appearance.
