Comfort and Style From Paoli Takes Three Forms for New Modrian Guest Seating
ORLEANS, IN, JUNE 2008 — Paoli introduces the Modrian series of wood and upholstery guest seating. Featuring design adaptability that facilitates stylishly coordinated seating arrangements for public and private business spaces, Modrian is available in three, comfort-focused style options.
According to chair designer Marcy King, president of Marcy King Designs, Modrian’s design options allow specifiers to emphasize comfort and style, using different looks within the same product family, throughout an entire interior space. These options include:
- all-wood slat back with an upholstered seat
- upholstered closed arm version, combining a wood slat back with half-upholstered back
- three-quarter upholstered back with open arms.
Front to back “soft” wood style
Offering a fresh clean-lined aesthetic, Modrian has a curved profile from front and side views. The wood front leg and arm maintain a gentle curve that invites the end user into the seat. Front legs curve gently toward the back as a softer and more subtle introduction to the prominent wood elements at the front of the chair design. Modrian is available in all standard Paoli wood finishes and upholstery options.
“The marketplace is constantly in search of exciting seating options at a good price point.” said King. “Once the user experiences the chair’s embrace, he or she will find comfort in the soft, subtle curve of the arms and back rail assembly, with or without the upholstered inserts.”
