Inspired by the classic design aesthetic of mid-century modernism, the Dialogue chair and ottoman provide an intuitive and purposeful solution for the modern workplace. Designed by Gensler, the chair features an integral task surface integration on the arm and a self-return metal swivel base offering extra flexibility. Its ergonomic design makes comfort a priority, as does the companion ottoman that prompts users to kick back and relax. While productivity oriented, Dialogue is equally suitable for casual conferencing or as a sculptural piece for lounges and lobbies.

HBF teamed up with designer and longtime partner Michael Vanderbyl to create the Conexus lounge chair and ottoman collection.

Todd Bracher’s latest collection, Cityscape 2.0 for HBF reimagines modular seating for public spaces with a compelling new planning geometry and refined detailing. Cityscape 2.0’s unique pointed back cushions evoke accent throw pillows to provide a palette for creative design expression with a wide range of HBF Textiles. Their residential-inspired form belies their durability — they have been engineered to withstand the demands of high-traffic spaces with a foam construction to maintain their form and incorporate fasteners to prevent movement.  Thoughtfully considered modules like the ‘Cityscape Pentagon’ evoke comfort and progressive design, empowering designers to program ‘rambling’ lounge landscapes with 120° & 150° planning possibilities. As a timely response to requirements for social distancing, Cityscape 2.0’s integrated table modules maintain required spacing and allow for easy reconfigurations in the future.
