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. The funds invested in a thoughtful office interior will return 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 perform their functions with dignity, without losing their external gloss.
And the load on this piece of furniture is serious. It is unlikely that anyone counted the exact number of people sitting on it during the working day. Therefore, the sofa for visitors must meet certain criteria. It must be reliable, resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage, and also easy to clean.
There are special design requirements for office models. The cozy homely “rookeries” that are familiar to us are not suitable here. Visitors come to your company dressed in business suits, which 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 made with higher backs, its width is selected taking into account the fact that not everyone can boast of harmony and smartness. Do not set models 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, do you?
Foamed polyurethane, foam rubber, latex, as well as the classics of the genre - spring blocks with stuffing have proven themselves well as a filler. Seats should be resilient, firm enough but not too hard.
The sofa for visitors is covered with natural or artificial leather, flock, tapestry, jacquard, microvelour. It should be noted that the most prestigious, status models are necessarily sheathed with genuine leather. It gives the product elegance, but also requires careful attention to itself. To prevent the material from cracking, you need to maintain the level of humidity in the room. To avoid fading, avoid direct sunlight on the surface of the sofa. Dust and dirt are removed with a soft flannel cloth and soapy water. Special products are available for skin care, which should be in the arsenal of cleaning staff.
Cheaper and more unpretentious office sofas for visitors, made using eco-leather. Such a skin 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 places with a soft cloth moistened with a neutral detergent solution. The only requirement is not to leave moisture on the surface of the artificial leather, it should always be wiped dry.
Fabric upholstery is not as durable, but here there is a kind of innovative breakthrough: a new woven fabric with Teflon coating 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. At the same time, the waiting area is sometimes specially distinguished by a bright color spot.
