  • Sitting. It’s only the beginning. After researching multiple small businesses, we noticed something: people are mobile, even when seated. Whether you’re a knee bouncer, a pencil tapper, or you’ve got jazz hands, Buoy lets you move freely. So feel free to pull up a seat. Or lean in. Or hunker…

  • Modern executive and conference seating sensibly designed to express a softer, more residential feeling with contract durability. Bindu combines the comfort and craft of an upholstered lounge with the performance needs of a work task chair.

  • The cobi chair encourages movement and supports a variety of postures. With only one adjustment (seat height), and a mechanism that’s weight activated and senses and supports your own center of gravity, anyone can get comfortable quickly.

  • FlipTop Twin was created with flexibility in mind. A simple folding mechanism enables the worktop to be flipped down into place in moments, to create a meeting space. And flipped up and rolled away for quick and space-efficient storage.
