Even as the global trajectory of remote working and freelancing is steadily increasing, employers are more and more conscious of the need to invest in spaces that promote the productivity and well-being of their employees. Despite persistent paranoia about robot automation, desk jobs are not going away in the short nor medium term.
Spanish furniture brand Andreu World recently presented Eat Well Seated – an intriguing concept that looks at how, as wine can pair differently with certain foods, design can complement and heighten the culinary experience – at Frame Lab in Amsterdam. Now, the manufacturer has created Lounge: a series of seating collections that respond to the dynamism and interconnectivity of modern workplaces. These collections comprise Alya, Capri, Couvé and Raglan.

Evocative of a 19th-century gentlemen’s club in the leather armchair version, Capri has a great classic feel and a personality that’s all its own. Solid, focused on comfort, and versatile, the armchair claims centre stage.

The undeniable character of Alya merges sculptural lines with upholstery that embraces the body.
