/ / / SHOWROOM furniture /1/ STRONG PROFILES /2/ When it comes to furniture for hospitality settings, exotic shapes are in—in a big way. Clean-cut minimalism ups the ante in chairs and tables, with arresting lines and unusual outlines. But it’s not all a moment for simplicity. Patterns are based around cutouts and wrap-around desks, chairs and tables. Manufacturers are bringing all the edginess of custom looks to standard product lines by playing with what’s expected, from a pedestal under a rainbow-colored chair to a sofa that appears to be three separate pieces in one. Whatever the style, there are new options for furniture that guests will envy. / 1 / Beaufurn www.beaufurn.com Designer Matthias Demacker’s Mixx seating offers the option of blending three different upholstery colors and fabrics. The 25-by-24by-31-in. chair offers sled (shown), spider and X bases. / 2 / Kimball Hospitality www.kimballhospitality.com The C Table can be used as a side table or a stand-alone accent piece. / 3 / Peter Harrison www.peterharrison.com The Zig Zag Redux (a tribute to the original Zig Zag chair designed by Gerrit Rietvald in 1934) is assembled with joints machined from a solid block of aluminum.
