Under the auspices of architect and Interior Design Hall of Fame member Patricia Urquiola, Haworth refreshes its Mart showroom annually. This year the theme was social spaces, a rallying cry to bring fun (and beauty) back into the office. Echoing its popular NeoCon riverfront lounge, the team moved back its reception desk to make way for entry-zone seating vignettes featuring Urquiola’s latest mega-release, Cabana. The streamlined modular sofa system set on refined aluminum legs creates a workplace habitat that’s cozy as can be yet primed for business: See the demountable space-dividing acoustic screens, adjustable painted-MDF tablets and shelves, and integrated power outlets. Quilted fabrics have thick batting for comfort, and the upholstery options, including wool-felt and leather, come in pastels or natural hues.
