The Truman lounge chair, bench and table are designed to do a bit of everything — from helping CEOs make decisions and MBA students study, to welcoming hotel guests and making all types of waiting more enjoyable.
“Truman adds comfortable, inviting seating for one or several people,” says Joe Ricchio of Ricchio Design, who designed the Truman collection with Matt Duncan of Morphix Design. “Truman easily is the heart of a reception area. But its also right at home in places like a break room, open office or unexpected collaboration spaces.”
