Jean Nouvel x Coalesse: Sculptural Office Seating Now Available at Inspiration Office

Inspired by elemental forms reminiscent of pebbles that combine seamlessly into organic forms, the new Jean Nouvel Seating Collection crafted in collaboration with Coalesse, is designed as a single statement of line that can be mixed and matched as desired.

Built with subtle contours that expertly support arms and backs, the boldly rounded forms of this office lounge seating collection flow like a wave across the seams and swells of each seat to suspend the body softly.

Echoing the spontaneity of natural formations in landscapes, the tete-a-tete, sofa, lounge, and ottoman can create a dynamic setting in harmony with the surrounding space. A stand-out piece in the collection, the tete-a-tete offers a reimagined take on the classic French face-to-face loveseat in a sculptural update that intuitively brings people together. The result is a great conversation piece in the form of a modern office lounge.

Commenting on the design, designer Jean Nouvel said: “The key word in my work is elementary. I look for peculiarities and characteristics that are tied to simple functions, to the technologies and attitudes of the moment. The elementary quality I seek has nothing to do with minimalism or brutalism: it involves ambiguity and complexity. The simpler an object looks, the more obvious or familiar, the harder it is to make, the more emotion it offers, and the better it stands the test of time.”

Designed to work in beautiful ways, the new collection is available in a selection of colours and finishing options.
