MOD ABOUT YOU

Sofa Outlet's guide to 60's office decor. Reminiscent of the neo-futuristic designs of Eero Saarinen, mod style furniture is the ideal look for an office. The clean, crisp, geometric lines keep the feel open and simple.


1. A tufted style provides a firm seat and back to keep you upright and alert. 
2. Go high in the back for the support you need throughout the work day. 
3. A vibrant hue adds a pop of "whoa" for a statement piece in any office space.
4. A curved style contours to the body while a swivel base promotes easy movement. 
5. Don't obstruct the view. Keep the profile low and the lines horizontal.
6. Introduce geometric lines without getting too busy with a solid wood desk/table top. 
7. An interesting way to achieve arms without taking up floor space. 
8. Chrome and glass is visually light and keeps the feel simple yet stylish.

THE GOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL

Metallics are making a HUGE return to the design scene. In recent seasons, chrome and silver have been ousted by bronze and gold. These rich, shiny shades add a beautiful contrast to a neutral or saturated palette. We're seeing examples on everything from lighting and accent tables to sofas and wallpaper. From the looks of it there's no doubt that this trend is going be around for a while.
