New Workplace Products for Summer 2020
With many of us working from home, “resimercial” furnishings are gaining momentum. Read about new products from Noho, HBF Textiles, InteriorArts, Louis Poulsen, and Arper.
Noho Move
New Zealand–based Noho made its debut with an office chair born out of researching the body’s pressure points. Made with Econyl nylon—a plastic composed of reclaimed fishing nets and used carpet—its mesh shell flexes and moves with the sitter. Noho Move is offered in black or white with optional interchangeable seat-and-back pads to add extra comfort.

AJ Royal
When Arne Jacobsen designed Copenhagen's SAS Royal Hotel in 1960, he didn’t stop at the building—he created its details down to the furnishings. Among them is AJ Royal, relaunched by Louis Poulsen in honor of the hotel’s 60th anniversary. The spun-aluminum luminaire sports a ridge element at the shade’s top, emitting subtle light upward.

Adell
Elements found in nature, such as smooth pebbles and moss-covered mounds, informed the gentle, hugging curves of this chair by Arper. But Adell also honors nature through its sustainable shell, 80% of which is made from recycled polypropylene.
