by Brianna Crandall — June 23, 2014—As Canada-based seating manufacturer Allseating describes it, business is a meeting of the minds. The company’s new Requisite line is a series of seating solutions that bring together creativity and economy, innovation and stability, and first and lasting impressions as an ideal solution for conference, collaborative or executive spaces. Allseating launched Requisite in June at its Chicago showroom.
In the development of the Requisite line, Allseating’s design director, Todd Yetman, built on his experience developing industry-recognized, award-winning seating solutions that leave no detail unconsidered. “The first thing you see when you enter a collaborative setting is, of course, the back of the chair,” says Yetman. “So we really wanted to focus on designing a chair that tells a story at every angle.
“Requisite combines classic lines and materials commonly found in conference chair designs of the past, with a hint of modern, to create a look that is transitional across many environments. This gives the chair an understated, comfortable confidence when compared to more streamlined, modern designs currently on the market.”
Because the goal was to create a full 360-degree experience, every detail has been thoughtfully considered, notes Allseating. This includes a detailed stitching pattern, beveled chrome edging, refined mechanism controls, and additional detailed options such as leather arm wraps for the Loop arm. Components are attached with a metal pin to eliminate the need for fasteners, to create a fully seamless aesthetic.
Requisite is Allseating’s most comprehensive conference and collaboration solution to date, according to the company. Three arm styles can be combined with mid-back and high-back designs to tailor the chair to specific needs.
