Gemma

Gemma

Designed by Daniel Libeskind, Gemma comprises a chair, sofa, and sofa system (prototype shown) for private and public spaces. Gemstones inspired the pieces’ multifaceted geometry, but don’t fear: the asymmetric angles are not only padded but also covered in a choice of leather or ombre Blur upholstery.

Users can mix this contract carpeting’s colors and sizes as well as install it in a range of patterns, including herringbone, parquet, and brick. Made from Antron Lumena Type 6,6 nylon, this NSF 140– and Cradle-to-Cradle–certified covering comes in 14 hues, two tile formats, and one broadloom option.

Ode

This family of 36W LED table, floor, and surface-integrated lamps use touch technology to turn on, off, and switch between two light settings. Diffusers beneath the spun-steel shade soften the pools of illumination, rendering it suitable for task and ambient use. The fixtures, designed by Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, are available in two colors and five heights.

Puzzle Seat

Puzzle Seat

Puzzle Seat

Taking a cue from the company’s own Puzzle tables, which can be combined in numerous ways based on need and preference, these curvilinear perches offer users a choice of seating height and direction. The upholstered pieces are available in 35 fabrics and three sizes. They come with three base options, including four solid-wood feet, shown.

This soft-seating and table collection may have been designed for reception areas, but the pieces can be used far beyond meet-and-greet spaces—the sofa’s wide arms double as work surfaces for laptops, for example, as well as seats for impromptu team sessions. Available with HBF Textile upholstery and four base finishes.

Ology

This series of standing desks can be specified with antimicrobial protection molded into its parts—an ingenious way to protect workers’ health in both communal and private spaces. Available in electric and manual versions, the wood-and-steel Ology also boasts an integrated rail that supports lighting and adjustable computer monitors.

Combining the performance of contract textiles with the tactile appeal of residential upholstery, these 12 fabrics debuted at NeoCon on West Elm’s Workspace line of office furniture. Now available to all, each utilizes yarn made from recycled panels; offered patterns include hemstitch, herringbone, and bouclé.

Named after its designer, landscape architect Andrea Cochran, this trio of outdoor pieces features minimal lines and sculpted aluminum frames. The armchair and chaise have mesh seats made from Phifertex Plus, a stain-and-mildew-resistant Greenguard Gold-certified textile. MeldStone ultra-high-performance concrete tops the collection's low side table.

Designed by Verner Panton in 1967, this multipurpose stacking chair never went into production—until now. Its slim, powdercoated stainless-steel frame holds a generous seat, which is in turn supported with elastic webbing. It comes in a choice of wool or velvet Kvadrat upholstery.
