Reverie — Privacy Lounge Chair
Designed in collaboration with Bernhardt Design, Reverie is a fully upholstered privacy lounge chair created for moments of retreat within open workplace environments.
Presented at NeoCon 2026, where it received a Best of NeoCon Innovation Award and a HiP Award.
Inspiration & Ideation
Inspired by the facets of a carved stone, Reverie wraps the user in a protective shell within open-plan environments. Balance sculptural forms with inviting comfort.
Design Development
The final form pairs a tall enclosing back with a softened lower body, creating a chair that feels protective without becoming visually heavy.
