Zen Sofa

Curved reception sofa by B&T Design

The Zen Sofa by B&T Design is a curved upholstered seating range for reception areas, waiting spaces and workplace lounges. Designed by Alp Nuhoğlu, its low back and rounded sides give it a form that can be seen from more than one side. Slim metal legs lift the upholstered body above the floor, so it can be considered as a freestanding piece as well as part of a wider seating group.

The Zen range includes single-, two- and three-seat sofas. B&T Design also shows matching round poufs in three sizes. Choose the size and arrangement against the room plan rather than assuming the same footprint for every version. Check the space for circulation, access and an occasional table, especially in a compact reception or client lounge.

The manufacturer's booklet specifies a metal structure, elastic webbing and HR foam in the seat. Upholstery choices include fabric, natural leather and artificial leather. Metal legs have a range of powder-coated finishes. Material performance and care depend on the cover selected, so confirm the upholstery and leg finish as part of the project specification. The booklet shows different cushion arrangements for the sofa sizes, which should also be checked when choosing a model.

For a project quotation, tell one of our experienced project consultants the number and size of sofas, intended setting, room dimensions, upholstery and leg-finish preferences, delivery address and programme. They can confirm the selected configuration and prepare a proposal for the space.

How to specify the Zen Sofa

Set the seating role

Zen can be used in reception, waiting or client lounge areas. Decide whether it will be a focal piece, part of a conversation group or seating alongside a table. This affects how much space to leave around its curved outline.

Choose the sofa size

B&T Design lists single-, two- and three-seat Zen models and matching round poufs. Check the manufacturer's drawing for the chosen version before setting the room plan. Do not treat one model's measurements as the size of the whole range.

Plan for movement

Allow for people to reach the seats, walk behind any freestanding sofa and use nearby tables. Check doorways and delivery access against the chosen model, particularly in a smaller reception.

Pick the upholstery

The booklet lists fabric, natural leather and artificial leather, plus customer-supplied material options. Check the chosen cover's cleaning and performance information for the intended level of use before approving it.

Agree the leg finish

Zen uses metal legs with a choice of powder-coated finishes. Review the finish with the fabric or leather sample and the room's other metalwork. Confirm the exact combination when requesting a quotation.

Complete the project brief

Give one of our experienced project consultants the model and quantity, room plan, chosen upholstery and leg finish, delivery address and programme. They can check the configuration and prepare a proposal.
