Coalesse® Introduces Montara650™ Collection
Simple, social, and refined office furniture for the modern workplace
Dubai, UAE, August 24, 2016: Modern office environments are often in a state of flux, with workers needing spaces to meet on short notice. These informal gathering places should be inspiring, comfortable and hardworking—a way for mobile workers to socialize and collaborate without monopolizing real estate. Coalesse, a premium furniture brand by Steelcase, is supporting this need by developing insight-led, design-driven products that expertly balance form and function while allowing tailored customization that fits a variety of work styles and spaces.
Focused on drawing people into the workplace with environments that foster social connection and creative collaboration, Coalesse has introduced Montara650. Created by the Coalesse Design Group and Lievore Altherr Molina, the collection is a refined addition to the casual meeting setting. Classically designed, the Montara650 collection’s sculpted chairs, stools, and lounge chairs* are paired with simple pedestal tables.
“Offices in the UAE have been primarily traditional in their layouts until now, although more and more we are witnessing the emergence of dynamic, flexible and adaptable offices which cater to the changing needs of an increasingly mobile workforce. We’ve found there is a direct correlation between engagement and workplace satisfaction, and the Montara650 collection is helping to bridge the gap by encouraging work environments that are highly functional yet inspire creativity, engagement and collaboration for best thinking amongst employees,” said Andy Morris, Head of Sales, Middle East, Steelcase Inc.
Montara650 fills informal spaces with café-style character and provides members of the A&D community with a highly customizable set of design options. The durable, oak-veneered plywood shell of the collection’s stackable chairs is available in five subtle stains and can be upholstered fully or in a unique, three-quarter style that enhances comfort while maintaining the warmth of the wood. The seating is available with four legs or a sled base, with arms or armless, in trivalent chrome or painted to match the office palette. The sturdy, elegant Montara650 table is available in multiple heights and shapes, and can be finished in any laminate or veneer.
“The inspiration came from abstracting the shape of a seated human figure, with the torso (back), the hips (seat), and the transition zone that unites them,” explains Lievore Altherr Molina. “This turned into a fairly neutral, balanced shape that was still iconic and recognizable and transmits its particular personality.”
Adaptable to many settings, Montara650 has an effortless, sophisticated appeal. The collection’s capacity for customization through various options, surface materials and upholstery makes it a versatile and inspired social solution for today’s workplace. These classically casual designs are infused with a comfort and craft that are a seamless fit both in existing spaces and the vital social spaces in-between.
