Thyateira Waiting Sofa

Thyateira is a three-seat sofa drawn for the waiting area of an office reception. It is upholstered in a stone-coloured, textured fabric. The back curves gently down at both ends into low arms; the seat is made of three separate cushions and the back of three panels divided by two seams. A recessed solid oak base runs along the bottom edge, so the sofa seems to float slightly above the floor. A built-in power outlet sits on the side face of the right arm. It takes its name from Thyateira, the ancient city in Akhisar, Manisa. We make it in our factory in Istanbul. A waiting guest charges a phone from the arm, and no cable trails across the floor. The seat is not as wide and sunken as a home sofa; it sits flat and steady and does not tire a person over a half-hour wait. Because the back drops towards the arms, two people sitting side by side do not knock shoulders. The upholstery is a textured, mid-dark fabric that hides marks and wipes with a damp cloth. It sits opposite the reception desk or against the wall of a lift lobby. Fabric, oak tone and size are chosen at order, and we set the type and position of the outlet with you according to how the space is used.
