Brig is a soft seating collection designed to create configurations that allow people to imagine their own personal space.

Resting on a wood plinth with an exposed plywood edge, Brig seats are generous in scale and easily separated by tables to allow a natural physical distance without the need to leave a seat empty.

The backs are available at two heights to create space division or openness allowing for more dynamic seating compositions.

A broad range of end elements; tables, open shelves, planters are also available to make this system truly versatile.

An intelligent and robust understructure allows for seats with and without backs, seats facing opposite directions and an infinite array of lengths.

Brig is a space to share with others while respecting their privacy; secluded but not excluded.

Create unique configurations from classic lounge chairs or a simple modern bench to high-back sofas that offer a sense of privacy in an open setting.

The result is a highly customizable system that stands out for its wide range of elements, flexibility, and attention to detail.

A freestanding table offers an ideal place to rest your coffee cup or pull up close as a surface to work at.

Brig responds to professionals who spend much of their time away from their desks and on the go.

Power is available in a variety of ways, from a discreetly integrated point at the ends of beams, to integration in any table surface as well as underneath to easily power lamps and other peripheral pieces.

So settle in, power up and relax.

With a focus on people, materials, and upholstery, Brig Lounge is a soft seating collection that responds to the ever-evolving context of work.
