Semi-Circular Astaire Reinforces Socially Distant Conversations with Comfort & Ease

With no compromises to comfort, the deep seat offers relaxing sink-in comfort and is offered in 11 different configurations and 300 fabric options. Starting at $3,300, Astaire can easily find a home in any space, sophisticated or casual.
Pierson Offers Built-in 6’ Buffer
With a lengthy 8’5” width across, the Pierson sofa lends ease and socially-distant safety, conveniently fitting two people with a built-in 6’ buffer. Low and laid back, this American-made, mid-century beauty offers comfort and modern luxury. Pierson’s down-blend cushions and seat depth provide generous room for relaxing, but the thin profile keeps things modern. In addition to a plethora of fabric options, the base/legs of the sofa can be customized by style and finish. Starting at $2,599, Pierson effortlessly mingles in nearly any environment, from hospitality to education and the home or business office.
Room & Board Business Interiors Debuts Fall 2020 Collection
New Collection of Seating and Tables Exudes Modern European Flair with American-Made Quality
Room & Board Business Interiors (BI), the iconic home furnishings brand’s commercial arm known for merging residential style with high-performing capabilities, has introduced its Fall line of contract-grade seating and tables. Marrying the best of American craftsmanship with the sophistication of modern European design, the collection embraces romantic and organic forms with the added benefit of durability for high-use environments.
“Fall 2020 is a counterpoint to the clean and masculine look and celebrates the feminine, softer side of design, without being fussy,” explains Jenon Bailie, Room & Board’s Merchandising and Design Director. “There’s a comfort and elegance to the overall aesthetic. Subtle arcs reminiscent of a warm embrace make us feel secure, while more classic design elements like tight-back sofas provide tailored high-performance and no-fluffing required solutions.”
Curvaceous and comfortable, the series honors the joy of lounging with the need for flexibility and safety in public spaces. Featuring universal tables with zero-maintenance scratch-, stain-, and chip-resistance, benches with easy-access storage, and seating with luxe ACT-grade velvets, the pieces are suited to meet the rigorous demands of today’s business customers and specifiers, yet beautiful enough to use in the home.
In keeping with the brand’s 40 year commitment to best-in-class service, many of the Fall 2020 introductions are kept in-stock and are available with COM. Further instilling a consumer-inspired level of service, specifiers also receive advantages, including: complementary space planning and furniture specifications services, transparent pricing, high-volume discounts, flat-rate shipping, white glove delivery, free return delivery service, and custom table and desk sizes, and customized storage configurations.
