New furniture that’s best Inclass

In response to the current day evolution and changing nature of the workplace and hospitality environments, Inclass has recently unveiled a new furniture collection. Innovative and inspired, the new launches are a contemporary and stylish solution for modern working life.

Escala is a flexible, elegant and comfortable modular lounge system that comprising various upholstered elements and accessories. With sleek horizontal platforms resting above a visually refined aluminium frame, Escale poses a visual lightness that pairs with a timeless design. The geometry and precise proportions, together with the broad range of elements available, allow for endless configurations, forming different contexts and settings in both public and private spaces.

Designed by Simon Pengelly, the Varya family of seating has been expanded with a suite of new versions specifically designed to respond to the changing demands of meeting, visitor and educational spaces. New features such as cantilever bases, optional arms, and castors encourage mobility, ideal for flexible teamwork or meeting areas. Magazine racks and folding writing tablets respond to the modern nomadic working style, easily adapting to the needs of each group session, training event or meeting.

Designed by Carlos Tiscar, the broad modular Lapse waiting area seating has been extended to include new curved elements. The modularity of the design is increased even more than it previously was, now allowing sinuous and organic shapes to be created alongside the angular and geometric designs the range has always had. The addition of these new elements enables the collection to be completely modular and transcend the classic concept of waiting-area seating.

The new Aryn chair by Jonathan Prestwich enters the market with a light, inspired design, optimal comfort and on-point colour palette. Balancing form and function, Aryn’s strength and durability ensure years of everyday use in a wide range of public and private environments while its simplistic beauty and gently curved profile will attract attention from any perspective.

These new additions to the Inclass suite of furniture are available through Own World.

“In collaboration with major designers, we manufacture contemporary furniture with an essential, elegant and timeless aesthetic,” the Own World team say “Furniture that is affordable for a worldwide public, designed with the purpose of creating inspiring spaces.”
