Brayton International, Metro, and Vecta, all divisions of Steelcase, have now coalesced as. . .Coalesse. The new entity will absorb all the furnishings previously manufactured by its three constituent parts. But to prove that the move means more than just remerchandising, Coalesse also assembled a famed foursome to commemorate the inauguration with a group of original designs.

Usually reticent about his inspirations, Jean-Marie Massaud of Studio Massaud acknowledges Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s influence on the Holy Day sling chairs and occasional tables, with their steel frames in a polished-chrome finish. Meanwhile, satin chrome was the finish of choice for Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd of PearsonLloyd when they designed the steel base of the Ribbon table; its top comes in leather or glass. Jeffrey Bernett, founder of Consultants for Design Strategy, named his Davos chair and benches after the Swiss town where the World Economic Forum takes place. The pieces are agile yet substantial, thanks to frames constructed of Russian birch plywood and padded with fire-retardant foam.

Chair Furniture Design by Harter

As with a good wardrobe, comfort and versatility are essential to any good task chair. And those were the driving forces behind Get, an addition to the Action line of swivel chairs from Harter. John Kaloustian designed the chair to adjust easily to suit each sitter. To assure that it’s as easy on the eyes as it is on the seat, the manufacturer offers a fashion show of choices. The perforated polypropylene back comes in 12 pop-culture colors, from Messenger Bag Green to Backpack Orange, with a partial or full back pad optional. The die-cast aluminum base can be polished or painted. For the upholstery, choose from any Harter Textile fabric or a selection of suiting-inspired patterns from KnollTextiles, many in recycled polyester.
