Modern spaces are no longer built around desks alone.

Environments such as lounges, waiting areas, hospitality spaces, and informal meeting zones increasingly require seating that contributes not only to comfort, but also to the atmosphere and function of the space itself.

Within our soft seating collection, the "Caldera" and "Arden" each respond to this in a different way.

Creating different types of atmospheres in open environments

The "Caldera" is designed around privacy within open environments. Its high-back design and rounded shape surrounding the seating area create a more enclosed setting that naturally feels calmer and more separated from the space around it.

This also introduces a subtle acoustic effect, helping reduce surrounding noise and making the Caldera especially suitable for airport lounges, hotel lobbies, reception areas, waiting zones, or informal meeting spaces where focus and comfort play a bigger role.

The "Arden" takes a more open approach. Without the enclosed high-back structure, it blends more naturally into shared environments while still offering the comfort and softness associated with lounge seating.

This makes it particularly suitable for open lounge concepts, collaborative areas, hospitality settings, or waiting spaces where accessibility and openness are more important than separation.

Designed to work together

Rather than functioning as standalone products, the "Caldera" and "Arden" are also perfectly designed to work together within the same environment.

By combining the more enclosed character of the Caldera with the openness of the Arden, different atmospheres can be created within one consistent interior concept. This creates more variation within a space without losing visual consistency across the project.

Both models are available in single-seat and extended sofa configurations, allowing for flexible layouts depending on the function of the environment.

Expanding towards more complete interior concepts

With the expansion of our soft seating collection, AOKE Europe continues to move beyond traditional workplace furniture.

The way modern spaces are designed is changing. Work, meeting, waiting, and relaxing increasingly blend together within the same environment. As a result, furniture is expected to contribute not only functionally, but also to the overall experience and atmosphere of a space.

By introducing collections such as the Soft seating, we continue to broaden our assortment towards more complete interior concepts that combine comfort, flexibility, and design within one consistent range.
