Consisting of five individual upholstered units, each featuring a web sprung seat, Verco’s Lush collection boasts luxurious cushioning and a softly rounded back. A single component with just a seat and back can be matched with left- or right-hand arm units to create versatile sofa units, with the length customisable according to the floor space available and the number of units used. Lush’s cosy corner unit allows for a wider range of shapes to be created, while the lounge stool also brings a domestic feel to the workspace. Manufactured in High Wycombe, the wooden frame provides a sustainable base for each unit, while Verco’s upholstery expertise ensures a comfortable seat and a web-sprung seat supports luxurious cushioning. All units can be connected to each other by the use of the link brackets provided, enabling specifiers to create the spaces they need in today’s increasingly flexible workplace.
Lush was designed by Studio Verco to assist in the creation of social ‘neighbourhoods’ within the office community, creating a vibrant ‘village’ of different, thoughtful spaces for a broad range of work and leisure activities, as well as a variety of reflective spaces to assist quieter, focused work. The collection reflects how permanent workstations are being replaced for flexible alternatives, for a ‘softer’, more domestic feel in the workplace – including soft furnishings like Lush being used as breakout space, informal meeting places and occasional workspace.
