Workplace solutions leader Allsteel has expanded their SEAQUAL® collection with a brand-new pattern: Cozy. The new textile options embody a soft, comfortable feel, but lead with sustainable construction thanks to SEAQUAL® upcycled marine litter yarns. Each of Cozy’s intentionally developed shades demonstrates the impact of color on those who inhabit and work within the office space.
The new collection is offered in 17 colorways, featuring a combination of rich hues – in neutral, cool and warm tones – that evoke a sense of comfort and promote the importance of color on neuroscience within office design. With names such as ‘Snug,’ ‘Cuddle,’ and ‘Slippers,’ any choice of the Cozy line will make the user feel at home even within the workspace.
The Cozy line features multi-colored and tonal options, offering designers a collection that supports their sustainability goals through the use of eco-friendly materials. The new addition to the collection suits customers’ aesthetic preferences while satisfying the need for sustainable textiles to be applied to commercial furniture. Made of 100% recycled polyester and 53% SEAQUAL® upcycled marine litter yarn, Cozy is an environmentally friendly textile solution that captures the neurological benefits of color.
Cozy in Sunshine will uplift any space when applied to Allsteel’s seating. As yellow aids in the release of serotonin, it has the ability to improve concentration and stimulate joy. Sunshine is perfect for any office space as it’s muted enough that it won’t promote fatigue, as some fluorescent yellows tend to. Instead, Sunshine’s earthier, chartreuse tones provide a sense of positivity while relaying an aura of comfort.
Solace is one of many cool-toned options in the Cozy line, but is unique in its vibrant turquoise hue. Green threads strike through the textile, evoking the effects of both blue and green. Because blue and green are the most commonly found colors in nature, they’re most associated with health properties and project an emotionally calming feeling to humans. As Solace is a mix of both colors, it combines their neurological benefits to enhance cognitive processes that utilize creativity.
Cozy in Honey expresses a comforting warmth. As warm colors are often neurologically associated with cognitive function, Honey is a great option to be applied to Allsteel’s office seating. This burnt orange is motivating and energizing, while simultaneously grounding because of its brown undertones.
