Zoning with lounge furniture with leather upholstery and steel bases
Start by marking the routes people use to cross the room. Identify where a lounge can sit alongside those routes without becoming part of them. The direction of the seating should make the group's purpose apparent, whether it supports informal discussion or visitor waiting. Review the composition from each nearby route, paying attention to the visible steel bases as well as the upholstered forms. Their outlines contribute to the visual boundary of the group. Assess that boundary from the wider room before refining the details within the seating area itself.
Read the Base as Part of the Form
Look at the relationship between the steel base and the leather upholstered body from more than one angle. The base may repeat the lines of the seating above or create a different visual direction. Assess whether that relationship remains coherent when several pieces appear together. Do not infer a particular frame design or surface treatment from steel alone. Instead, review the actual outline and appearance. Where the group includes different forms, decide which base details should be consistent and which differences can remain part of the intended composition.
