Schiavello introduces Kayt Quiet – for contemplative thought
March 31st, 2009
The distinctive profile of the Kayt Quiet lounge is inspired by 19th Century timber church pews and their use for contemplative thought.
Part of Schiavello’s Kayt range of seating and tables, the soft high sides of Kayt Quiet provide a tranquil reading spot, cosy waiting area or alternative informal space for interviews or meetings.
Combating some of the issues of open-plan spaces, Kayt Quiet is perfect for workspaces, clubs, restaurant, hotels and residential areas. When placed together in clusters Kayt Quiet can provide acoustically-sound enclosures and pods.
Displaying the distinguishing connecting modular detailing of the Kayt range – expressed in the fold between the seat and back – the Quiet will sit perfectly with other Kayt pieces.
Kayt Quiet and the Kayt range, by designer Ivan Woods, are available internationally from Schiavello. For full details and showroom locations visit schiavello.com or phone 1300 130 980
