WORKPLACE FURNITURE

Haworth

The dashing task chairs, desk sets and storage options found in this showroom channel the verve of Suits, courtesy of such design stars as Marcel Wanders, Jasper Morrison and Patricia Urquiola. The Italian-designed, U.s.-produced Lotus chair, available in black and vibrant turquoise, and the Poppy dowel chair are guaranteed to liven up any boardroom. Lust-worthy leather pieces from Poltrona Frau add luxe, while Cappellini’s commercial–home hybrid furniture makes being at the office a much more inviting prospect. 55 UNIVERSITY AVE 416 363 3486 HAWORTH.COM

Humanscale

This LEED Gold–winning HQ houses a wealth of ergonomic and responsibly made desk chairs and LED task lamps. Wellness informs the merchandise, too: Quickstand Eco is an easy-to-use accessory that creates an adjustable sit-stand workspace out of any surface, including at home, while Officeiq, an activity tracker integrated into chairs and desks, reminds users when it’s time to move. Another hit: the lobster tail–inspired Trea chair automatically adjusts tensions to accommodate the user. 488 WELLINGTON ST W, 6TH FL 416 979 0470 HUMANSCALE.COM

NUA Office

NUA’S offerings are threefold: residential and contract furniture by Allsteel, HBF Gunlocke and Hon (in metal, textile and wood, respectively); furnishings produced by these sibling manufacturers for NUA; and accessories from Normann Copenhagen, Vitra and Humanscale. All told, they comprise furnishings for both home (read: fashionable comfort) and office (durable, automated ergonomics) that beautifully work together in both environments. 366 ADELAIDE ST E, UNIT #150 416 601 0793 NUAOFFICE.COM
