Arranging lounge furniture with yellow bases and no armrests
Begin with the pattern of arrivals rather than a symmetrical furniture arrangement. Visitors may arrive alone, alongside a colleague, or as part of a group, and the seating layout should make those situations understandable. Without armrests marking the sides, separation depends more on the shape and placement of the furniture. Decide where individual places should feel distinct and where a shared arrangement is appropriate. Yellow bases can repeat beneath the group, but their visual connection does not replace a clear plan. Check how the layout reads when people occupy adjacent seats, especially beside entrances and the main route through the space.
Keep side approaches intentional
When assessing lounge furniture with yellow bases and no armrests, look at the space beside each seat as carefully as the space in front. The absence of an armrest removes that particular side element, but it does not guarantee an unobstructed approach. A neighboring table, another seat, or a personal bag can still interrupt movement. Review the complete furniture outline and the likely approach direction. Avoid treating every gap as a walking route; some spaces belong to the seating area itself. A clear distinction between circulation and seating helps prevent an apparently open arrangement from becoming difficult to understand in use.
