Soft seating: the lounge chair as a space for concentration

15 April, 2026

In the redefinition of contemporary spaces, the lounge chair gains new relevance as an autonomous piece capable of articulating diverse uses within a single environment. Far from being limited to a specific role, this individual form of soft seating introduces a more intimate scale, where comfort and spatial perception adapt to personal experience without losing their collective nature.

Following a period marked by the rise of open-plan office layouts, there is a growing need to incorporate spaces that support concentration and retreat without compromising flexibility. In this context, the lounge chair becomes an effective resource for creating micro-environments within the space, providing a certain degree of privacy and enclosure.

Its configurability—through different upholsteries, bases, heights, and complementary elements—expands its functionality and allows it to adapt to multiple uses. From more enveloping pieces to lighter, more open solutions, lounge chairs respond to a more nuanced way of inhabiting spaces, where the balance between interaction and concentration is essential.

Nagi – a space of one’s own

The Nagi lounge chair, designed by Tomoya Tabuchi, is in itself a space for comfortable retreat. Through the shape of its backrest and armrests, it envelops the user and evokes—true to its Japanese name—a sense of “calm waters.” This reinterpretation of the rocking chair brings a new dimension to soft seating, offering not only comfort but also a setting for pause, reflection, and rest.
