Although contract furniture is not intended for residential use, Sitia is introducing The Human Work as a new concept that delivers all the function and technical requirements of commercial furniture with the comfort of a residential setting. The new concept is set to be presented at Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2019 in the form of two collections, Felicity and Pergy.
Felicity offers seats for one, two and three with low platforms, built-in side tables and tall backs for added privacy. As such, these contract furniture pieces have the potential to help divide large, open spaces that lack flexible partitions or walls. Pergy sets itself apart with sofas, an armchair and a pouf, all of which have cozy curving shapes that would sit well in public lounges.
