JP Lounge Extensions by Jonathan Prestwich
Davis Furniture, a leading manufacturer of contemporary office furnishings, announces the expansion of the highly acclaimed JP Lounge Collection, initially launched in 2020. Renowned London-based industrial designer, Jonathan Prestwich, has introduced two new chairs, each available with and without privacy screens, alongside an additional stool and ottoman. The JP Lounge Collection is a cutting-edge modular seating series that redefines contemporary workspaces. Inspired by the evolving dynamics of modern work, the collection encompasses open seating, screened units, benches, and table options, catering to the diverse needs of users in open offices, lounges, and workspaces.
Each piece in the JP Lounge Collection was designed to feature single-seat upholstery and table options, ensuring a highly customizable solution that helps defines and divide space for the end user. The collection’s refined appearance and unexpected comfort are achieved through multi-density foam over a plywood frame construction with supportive webbing to create concealed suspension within each piece. Jonathan Prestwich shared his thoughts on the design: “With JP Lounge, I wanted to explore how a series of products could not only define a cohesive interior space but simultaneously provide for the end user’s individual needs. And these new additions continue to expand upon that idea making the collection an even a more robust solution for designers to utilize.”
The expanded collection now offers a more comprehensive range of seating options than ever, including backed and backless benches in straight, 90-degree, and 120-degree designs. Optional 50″ high upholstered screens enhance privacy, through acoustical and spatial division in open office settings. The modular design allows configurations to seamlessly join together, supported by cast aluminum legs connected with extruded aluminum base rails. Each metal base is available in over 35 standard powder coat finishes ranging from simple neutrals to lustrous pearls to Davis’ vibrant Color Trends.
In addition to seating units, the JP Lounge Collection includes connecting and freestanding occasional tables available in durable finishes such as Fenix™ Innovative Materials, laminates and acrylic. Ash, Oak or Walnut veneer surfaces are available when a softer aesthetic is needed. Integrated pivoting and articulating tablets alongside discreet fixed tables with wireless charging capabilities provide versatile options for users. Undermounted and surface power options complete the comprehensive features of this unique collection.
JP Lounge stands as a timely and distinctive series that equips designers with all the essential components to create a cohesive design language while meeting the individual requirements of occupants in the evolving landscape of modern workplaces.
