naughtone turns to face the summer sun

A recent addition to the naughtone range is a smooth running swivel mechanism, helping our Gloria lounge chair and trim armchair face the sun where ever it is.
Both swivel additions are grounded with our elegantly shaped solid aluminium pedestal base. This detail is shared across the pedestal table range allowing collections of lounge seating and tables to be used coherently.
To compliment the spinning chair trim is also now available in acompact dimension (700mmx700mm). Trim compact on theswivel base is a functional alternative to any traditional tub chair.
For more information on the Gloria and trim swivel chairs visit the relevant sections on our website www.naughtone.com or contact naughtone directly. +44(0)113 242 7403

Pollen Stool and Table

OFFICIAL 2009 LAUNCH
naughtone is proud to announce our newest product for 2009. Designed by award winning British designer David Fox, pollen is a dynamic breakout seating system that can be creatively configured to suit any corporate, public or educational space.Pollen’s obvious tessellation capabilities follow naughtone’s approach to graphic, approachable products. The hexagon is a natural shape to repeat and create patterns with. We hope it will obsess others as it has naughtone, to move the shapes around and lock them into place.
Pollen is a response to a growing need for loose furniture in open spaces that can be reconfigured, create a lively atmosphere and above all perform. The limitless configurations allow the pollen to adapt to any interior, be it a winding meander amongst high columns or a group of clusters in an open space.
Pollen is available on two styles of base and has a comfortable upholstered seat. The table pieces use the same options and tessellate perfectly with the stools. A wide variety of upholstery finishes and table surfaces are available.

Track Seating Islands

Following the success of the track sofa system, naughtone has worked closely with architects and designers to specify useful combinations of this modular system.
One of naughtone's big advantages to architects and designers is our design literate team and UK production. This allows us to tailor products to exact requirements where necessary. Recently we have worked with a London architect to create large sculptural seating islands for a vast atrium space. The seating islands are based on the track sofa's CNC quilting detail which is what originally caught the eye of the architect. Here, the track seating islands compliment the other naughtone products in the scheme perfectly.naughtone prides itself on its ability to work with architectsand designers closely; the two founding directors are designers themselves and are always focussed on getting involved with the details when naughtone products are specified. The technique of CNC quilting was first used in the UK by naughtone for upholstered furniture. It was a long process to develop the quilting technique for upholstery foam and achieve consistent results; but naughtone was determined to perfect the process for the track sofa system knowing full well that it had many more possibilities such as the recent seating islands.
Now fully developed, the system to create endless shapes of the track seating islands is available to all. Alongside developing current collections and new products naughtone is now on the look out for the next furniture challenge!

trim sofa. Now in full production

After launching the Trim sofa collection as a prototype at 100% Design 2008, naughtone are proud to announce the Trim collection is now in full production. The new Trim sofa collection is the latest naughtone product designed by Stefan Bench of In the Detail. Utilising naughtone’s quality approach to upholstery Trim has been created with a deep understanding of upholstery detailing, giving the product character, comfort and a competitive price point.
naughtone prides itself on its quality upholstery, and this attention to detail has given the Trim collection its name. By concentrating on the meeting points of the separate elements the Trim sofa is more a kin to contemporary automobile detailing. This collection also continues naughtone’s family of designs with a considered repetition of radiuses allowing the eye to flow easily over each piece.
The pure graphic form of the armchair, two seat, three seat and
bench options is complimented with two leg options and a vast selection of fabrics and leathers. The option to create a two tone effect between the backrest and seat allows colour to be introduced to the piece whilst not letting it overwhelm the design. Leg options consist of subtle, straight aluminiumlegs or brushed stainless steel sled legs allowing the piece to be fully customized.
Trim is constructed with a solid hardwood frame from a sustainably managed forest; the range is part of naughtone’s localised and environmentally aware production process. naughtone’s full environmental policy is available upon request.
