The business success of a company is largely determined by the ability to win over customers. This skill is achieved through painstaking work, including on the image of the organization. Funds invested in a thoughtful interior of the office will be returned to you in the form of profit. Therefore, show responsibility by choosing the right corporate furniture. Sofas, which are usually located in waiting areas or meeting rooms, should fulfill their functions with dignity, without losing their outer gloss.
And the load on this piece of furniture is serious. It is unlikely that anyone would calculate the exact number of people sitting on it during the working day. Therefore, a sofa for visitors must meet certain criteria. It must be reliable, resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage, as well as easy to maintain.
There are special design requirements for office models. The cozy home “rookeries” habitual for us are not suitable here. Visitors come to your company dressed in business suits that do not allow you to fully relax and feel at ease, literally falling into the arms of a low soft sofa with a low back. The sofa for visitors is usually performed with higher backs, its width is selected taking into account the fact that not everyone can boast of harmony and fit. Do not set models that are too low in height. For older people, it is sometimes very difficult to get up from such furniture. You don’t want to put your customers in an awkward situation?
Foamed polyurethane, foam rubber, latex, as well as the classics of the genre - spring blocks with padding proved to be quite good as a filler. Seats should be resilient, tight enough, but not too rigid.
The sofa for visitors is covered with genuine or artificial leather, flock, tapestry, jacquard and micro-velor. It should be noted that the most prestigious, status models are necessarily sheathed with genuine leather. She gives the product elegance, but also requires careful attention. So that the material does not crack, it is necessary to maintain the humidity level in the room. To avoid burnout, exclude intense sunlight on the surface of the sofa. Dust and dirt are removed using a soft flannel cloth and soap solution. For skin care, special products are available that should be in the arsenal of cleaning personnel.
Cheaper and more unpretentious office sofas for visitors, made using eco-leather. Such lining does not fade, it is difficult to scratch it, it retains its original appearance for a long time. To put it in order, you just need to wipe the contaminated area with a soft cloth moistened with a neutral detergent solution. The only requirement is not to leave moisture on the surface of artificial leather; it should always be wiped dry.
Fabric upholstery is not so durable, but there is a peculiar innovative breakthrough: a new woven fabric with Teflon spraying or impregnation. A sofa for visitors with such upholstery is difficult to cut through, spilled liquid simply rolls off the surface of the material without being absorbed into it.
As for the design, it is selected taking into account the general style decision of the office. In this case, the waiting area is sometimes specially highlighted by means of a bright color spot.
