Research Provides Insights on Engagement, Social Connection from Modern Rocking
Wellbeing has become increasingly more important in what makes the modern workplace a progressive environment for its workers. To support wellbeing in both small groups with social and collaborative applications, and for individual focus Coalesse introduces the Montara650 Rocker. Backed by research showing rockers amplify social connection and comfort, this addition to the beloved Montara650 line reinvents an iconic tradition in both place and style.
According to a Steelcase Workspace Futures research project sponsored by Coalesse, the unique motion of rocking not only puts people at ease physically, but also helps to pick up and echo the nod, the laugh, the leaning in to a discussion, which all contribute to building deeper trust and engagement amongst workers. This level of comfort and social connection can lead to better outcomes at solving complex problems at work.
With insights from its research, Coalesse developed the Montara650 Rocker featuring:
The original armless lounge chair thoughtfully engineered on a rocking frame with or without arms
Plywood oak shell with refined upholstery choices including: ¾ upholstery, full upholstery or seat cushion
Frame available in painted or chrome finishes
Infinite color choices for the frame through the Coalesse Color Program
Rockers are naturally filled with positive associations of comfort, wellbeing and warmth. The Montara650 Rocker brings these dimensions to work, with vital style and versatility. As part of the Montara650 Collection, the rocker offers the same light, fresh lines, simple luxury and rich opportunities for customization to tailor each chair to designer needs — its upholstery, shell and frame can all be personalized to express a specific vision.
Modern rockers, like many current designs for the evolving workplace, have multiple uses. Coalesse envisions the Montara650 Rocker will be used for “rock and talk,” to gain subtle impacts in small groupings for social connection and collaboration, for “rock to relax,” to deepen private focus and to “rock beautifully.” As an addition to a well-loved line, the Montara650 Rocker delivers design as well as comfort.
