Manfred, a sofa of great presence and excellent comfort
Manfred is a collection of upholstered sofas that can be freely combined. These pieces are ideal for relaxation zones or high representation waiting areas.
It is designed for a wide range of installations such as work spaces, large lobbies or in between public spaces. The collection is comprised of various pieces: an individual lounge chair, two or three seater sofas with an optional wood arm for all versions.
The Manfred sits on a base with an angled edge slightly inclined towards the interior which is specifically designed to facilitate the organization of space around it.
The Manfred seating collection complies with the most resistant tests such as the Level 5 ISO and ANSI BIFMA. Additionally, it is made with recyclable materials in a manufacturing process that isrespectful to the environment and its sustainability. The wood used comes from reforested areas that are FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council).

Bolon Studio Tile Wing |
GRAPHIC FEEL, ARCHITECTURAL FORM: BOLON LAUNCHES NEW STUDIO TILE WING
Wing is a flooring tile that allows architects and designers to combine several of the Bolon’s collections and elevate them to a new level. Wing, which is part of Bolon Studio™, facilitates new dimensions for interior design environments. The strong architectural form interacts elegantly with interior design elements and building details. The results are striking – the new format reenergises each collection with all new characteristics – especially in combination with one another.
“Bolon Studio was created to offer architects and designers greater creative freedom with a few selected collections. Initially it was an experiment but today it is an increasingly popular solution and almost like a collection itself. The new tile Wing includes most of our flooring in the selection. Wing’s strength is the ability to mix and match freely, especially when combining smaller patterned collections with some of our more sensational floors,” says Annica Eklund, CEO of Bolon.
Material: Produced from roll material
Available collections: BKB, Botanic, Now, Ethnic, Artisan, Create

As a sales rep for the contract furnishings world, this particular segment on NPR's Marketplace last week caught my attention. While working for a global office furniture company, I sold the concept of the collaborative office space. But I wonder, does open office concept work for your business or does it slow your productivity? As Susan Cain suggests, there is still a need for quiet spaces... What do you think?
