Planning lounge furniture with no armrests and serie 200 upholstery
Informal use still needs a clear spatial structure. Decide where a colleague can sit independently and where a group is expected to form. Without armrests, individual places may be read through the seating shape and arrangement rather than side divisions. Examine those cues from the route into the lounge. Serie 200 upholstery should be coordinated as part of the same composition, while the arrangement establishes how it is used. Avoid assuming that an armless outline makes every position equally suitable for conversation, passing activity, or a seat beside the main workplace route.
Manage the edges of informal groups
The outside edge of a lounge group is where seated activity meets circulation. Look at that edge carefully, especially where someone might pause to speak to a colleague. A brief standing conversation should not make the route through the area difficult to interpret. Consider where personal belongings will sit during use and whether they are likely to occupy an approach to a seat. Armless sides leave the furniture outline open, but the occupied area includes people and their belongings. Review that complete relationship before positioning the group beside a frequently used route.
