The ORGATEC Trade Fair which is held every two years in Cologne, Germany, brings together all aspects of the future work environment; From contract furniture through to avant-garde communications technology, work stations to waiting areas.

This year Viccarbe, manufacturer of contemporary furniture will be presenting their most recent collections of seating, designed to offer the Mediterranean lounge experience. Viccarbe represents the values of the Mediterranean; a sensibility for materials and understanding of light which renders the tones of its vibrant colour palette. These qualities are nowhere more important than in waiting and reception areas, often a place where first impressions are made and informal meetings are conducted.

Recent seating collections produced by Viccarbe, such as the Ace Wood (Jean-Marie Massaud), Nagi (Tomoya Tabuchi), Penta (Toan Nguyen) and Brix (Kensaku Oshiro) bring a new visual audacity to the waiting area chair. A hybrid design that combines the traditional armchair with a unique visual aesthetic making a designer statement and providing comfort, waiting areas are converted into lounges.
