Choose the best lounge stool
Posted on by . Tags: Choice Office Furniture, Stools
With just four legs and a seat, lounge stools are among the simplest of chairs. These seats are common in restaurants, cafes, informal gathering spots and other casual seating areas so the designs and styles for lounge stools are becoming complex and creative. Here are our top picks for lounge stools - for the office or beyond.
The incredible part of lounge stools is the variety they come in – from the shapes to colours. So even though lounge and café stools are simple, it can be difficult deciding on the best stool for your workplace. The best place to start is decide what is the purpose of the stool.
Will it be regularly used in a popular workplace hotspot by staff and the public? Or will it be a functional chair for a casual workstation? There is a stool for every purpose, but the function often decides on the style.
For lounge stools that are used for long periods of time (such as stools for special workstations or in areas for informal meetings), an arm rest and considerate seats can drastically improve the comfort. The Focus Side stool is designed for heavy use with its padded or mesh seat and optional arm rests. Despite its professional-level comfort, it comes in a variety of colours and finishes to match your workplace or stand out.
Another stool designed for comfort is the Freelance series by SitOnIt Seating. The stool comes with or without arms and the seat and back can be upholstered. As a formal café stool, the Freelance series is suitable for office workplaces or other places where the stool will be used for focused work.
If the stool will be used as a casual spot to sit, then modern designs can add a playful touch to spaces where people relax and meet for brief periods. Trendway designs and manufacturers stools with innovative designs that are fun yet functional. The Quello lounge stool has a molded seat that provides extensive support in a simple design.
A stool by Encore that is great for casual spots is the Wake – it has a modern shape and a minimalistic frame, but the stool can be upholstered for comfort.
Lounge stools come in many varieties, but the purpose of the stool can help you decide which one best suit your workplace.
