With workplace design being re-invented in recent years, focusing on creating spaces that support employee productivity and boost job satisfaction. The same also can be said for schools and institutes choosing to optimise spaces that help students – kids to adults, perform their best.

Like the home, furniture is considered the centrepiece of your space – be it breakout areas, waiting areas, lobby’s, offices and the like. The type of furniture you have impacts the reputation of your business or institution, especially for clients. It’s the first area they see and thus should mirror how you want to convey your business. A contemporary workplace or public setting plays an important part in the ambience of the space. Not only does it provide an inviting setting, but it also gives visitors confidence that care was taken in selecting the furniture that is suited for the business.

The role furniture performs is a culmination of many things, style, design, origin, sustainability, comfort, and function. Having pieces tick all those boxes will create an atmosphere that is welcoming, relaxing, and very importantly, looks great and will leave a good impression. By evaluating these elements, researching the market and sitting on many uncomfortable armchairs and lounges in waiting rooms or offices, Studio Pip saw the need to design and manufacture pieces that would suite the commercial scene.

Studio Pip developed a seating range that was contemporary, comfortable, functional and adaptable for a variety of situations. Fred being this range is a versatile solution for variety of workplace environments and purposes.

Fred is a perfect combination of timber structure, robust steel legs and plush seating comfort with expressive, elegant forms.

The Fred includes both a sofa and armchair. Each has a sturdy and restful back, generous cushioning with supportive arm rests. There is also the choice of fabric or leather upholstery. The legs feature an optional inset in Tasmanian oak – a safety inclusion that aids reducing  trip hazards. All these features make Fred the perfect relaxed seating for commercial, waiting and break out areas.

This can be seen in a project where Studio Pip had Fred armchairs as well as the Spencer lounge, in the lobby reception area of Sky Suites. The client opted for a leather upholstered finish in Pelle Leathers Panorama in Black Swan – This choice was a perfect match for the contemporary soft lit space.

As a pair, or on their own, the Fred lounge and armchair offer practicality whilst expressing a certain elegance. The rigid sleek legs with the timber inset are softened by the plush curvature shape of the seat.

With options in fabric or leather, as well as a variety of colours, Fred is the perfect seating choice for your space – why not check it out using our AR 3D tool?  

With such vast selection of options, AR+3D tool will help clients better engage and improve purchase confidence. The tool generates a 3D product based on user’s selection of timber finish and upholstery. It can be virtually within a room using AR technology or saved as an image for use in presentations and furniture schedules. This excellent feature bridges the gap between what you see instore and how a product will look in your space. 3D+AR integration tool, is accessible on the Studio Pip website by desktop, mobile or tablet.
