Collaborate

5.12.11 | New York, NY - Stanley Felderman and Nancy Keatinge of LA-based Architecture and Design firm Felderman Keatinge + Associates have designed an urban-classic seating line for Haworth. The versatile collection named Collaborate is suited for either modern or traditional interiors and its dimensions and form appeal to a broad spectrum of users and scale of spaces.

The crisp clean lines and multiple uses of Collaborate make it a cross over chair that can be specified for corporate, hospitality, residential, institutional, or healthcare projects. The series consists of a pull-up and lounge chair and coordinating tables available in oval, round and square.

The chairs can be used with one of three base types - four-legs, four-star, or a disc-base which can be mixed to allow for variety. All seating features a 180-degree, self-returning swivel. Tables have two base options — a four-star or disc-base, and tabletops are available in either marble, wood or laminate. Upholstery options include current Haworth fabrics and leathers as well as COM’s and COL’s. European fabric widths can be accommodated as well.

The back-to-front downward slope and curved form of the chair engages the natural gesture of the human arm and fosters comfort. Integral lumbar support allows it to be used for extended periods of time, and the rotational capability allows for collaboration.

Collaborate is a sophisticated, roomy lounge chair for reception, lobbies and collaborative areas, as well as a smaller-scale pull-up chair for private offices and conference rooms. Collaborate is scaled for residential and hospitality applications as well. Collaborate is planning to achieve BIFMA Level II Certification and be Greenguard Certified. Collaborate exceeds Haworth’s reliability and quality standards that are above industry standards.

Collaborate guest chairs range from $1800-$2200 USD List. Collaborate lounge chairs range from $2000-2500 USD list.
