Small Lounge Chairs in Reception Lobby

Timeless Design,
Multiple Expressions

The enduring appeal of mid-century modern design finds its full expression in the Havana Collection’s four distinct yet harmonious variations. From the fully upholstered Havana Lounge, Havana Lounge Armless, Havana Side Lounge, to the Havana Wood Frame the pieces in the collection speak the same design language while serving unique functional needs.

Designers value the ability to mix and match within the collection – combining the fully upholstered lounge chairs with wood-armed side lounges depending on visitor and space needs. This versatility allows for cohesive design solutions. The collection’s timeless appeal, combined with its ability to adapt to various design contexts, explains its continued prominence in contract furniture installations.

Generous Seating
with a Small Footprint

The Havana Collection proves that comfort doesn’t require expansive dimensions in lobby furniture design. Each space saving lounge chair in the series is designed with proportions that focus on comfort while offering space-saving functionality. The Wood Frame Lounge exemplifies this design approach: Generous seats are paired with streamlined wood arms, resulting in a smaller overall footprint that maximizes seating capacity in limited spaces.

This attention to spatial efficiency makes the Havana Collection particularly valuable in busy healthcare waiting rooms, where every square foot matters. Whether you’re furnishing a compact medical office or a spacious university library, these chairs deliver the perfect balance of comfort and space utilization. The collection’s modest footprint allows facilities to accommodate more guests without compromising on comfort, functionality, or design aesthetics.

Engineered for Human Comfort: The Science Behind the Style

Built into the lounges’ inviting appearance are meticulously designed comfort features. Every angle has been carefully calculated: The collection’s signature wide seats with relatively narrow arms create a deceptively spacious seating area within a compact footprint. Plus, slightly reclined seats and backs encourage a natural lounge posture. In addition, interior designers might notice the subtle inward angle of the seat base front, designed to accommodate visitors’ legs as they sit comfortably in the chairs, whether for an extended reading session or a short waiting room visit. This inward angle also makes standing up easier, as visitors can tuck feet inward to stand.
