Phlox Collection of Furniture from Okamura

This article forms part of the Decorative and Applied Arts Encyclopedia, a master reference hub providing a structured overview of design history, materials, movements, and practitioners.

The core of this collection of collaboration seats and tables is nature, inviting colleagues to connect comfortably and efficiently. Curved forms will lighten the work environment and encourage a flow of creative energy. Spill out into natural break-out areas, where easy and natural encounters ensue. The night phlox flower’s smell and attractive petals inspired the collection, reflecting nature’s vibrancy and calming effect. The Phlox Collection was created with circularity, ensuring a low environmental impact.

Natural interactions across a range of settings

With a welcome selection of settings, you may naturally inspire creativity and establish trust. Comfortably envelop yourself in rounded seats with fluid lines and a soft, supportive, cushioned inner shell. To set the tone for collaboration, choose one of three seat heights. With straightforward adjustments, conference chairs provide mid- or high-back support. Settle into a serious debate in Phlox lounge chairs or meet spontaneously in high stool chairs that easily connect the team.

Drawn together naturally

Provide a varied landscape of low tables, conferencing tables, and high tables to bring life to your room. Combine four distinct heights with six gently curved tabletops in various shapes and sizes and a variety of natural finishes. Due to its design, a vast pentagonal table, which can comfortably seat six people, can also be used by a small group of two or three people. Bring people together in groups, and ideas will start to flow.

Designed by Rainlight

Rainlight, a product design agency headquartered in London and New York and with worldwide client partnerships, collaborated on the Phlox Collection. Rainlight is a lab, a workshop, and a studio that blends imaginative design thinking with business savvy to develop artefacts that improve people’s lives, work, and play in the real world. Rainlight’s cross-cultural and interdisciplinary research practice enables them to unearth the demands of a changing society.

Soften the office

Phlox’s delicate curves and fluidity soften a space while promoting flow and movement. People will be drawn in by the elegant lines and soft edges to connect, settle, and unwind. Two-tone upholstery adds tactile and visual interest to the room. For the inside shell, choose from eight carefully picked hues; for the outer shell, choose from grey or dark grey.

Details that inspire

The tapered knife-edge motif on the tabletops is both elegant and tactile. With a variety of textures and finishes, it excites the senses to promote well-being. Choose from a curated range of colour options for your wood veneer, laminate, or linoleum worktop, which may be tastefully matched with legs in one of four woodgrain finishes.
