Rhombic is a space-saving furniture system designed for workplaces and academic environments. It consists of four diamond-shaped poufs and a docking base that neatly arranges them into a distinctive rhombic pattern when not in use.
Ideal for breakout and shared spaces, the poufs provide flexible seating for informal meetings, impromptu gatherings and moments of individual retreat. Lightweight construction and low-friction glides make each pouf easy to move and return to the docking base, helping shared spaces stay organised and ready for what comes next.
Key Features:
- Bringing People Together: Rhombic creates flexible seating for breakout areas, shared spaces and other environments designed for collaboration, conversation and informal interaction.
- Comfortable: The diamond-shaped poufs offer a relaxed and versatile sitting experience. Sit conventionally with both legs to one side, or straddle the pouf like a saddle for a different, more active posture.
- Clever by Design: The docking base provides a simple, intuitive way to store the poufs. Each one slots neatly into position, creating a distinctive diamond pattern while keeping the footprint compact.
- Easy to Use: Lightweight poufs fitted with low-friction glides can be moved easily with a foot, making it possible to reposition them without bending down or putting down whatever you are carrying.
- Crafted in the UK: Rhombic is crafted in Yorkshire, UK. The poufs combine modern manufacturing and joinery techniques with traditional upholstery and quality fabrics to create a durable seating solution for demanding environments.

- Rhombic's poufs can be arranged in two different configurations - the 4-part diamond formation outlined on this page, and a 5-petal flower shape. That's why we offer two different table/docking base options, to allow you more freedom of choice. We call the 5 pouf version the Blossom Seating System, so be sure to check it out.
Workplace & Commercial:
- Agile Breakout & Collaborative Hubs: Functions as a flexible seating catalyst for spontaneous team huddles and quick discussions. Employees can easily pull out individual poufs to create interactive seating circles, then dock them back together to immediately restore order.
- Reception Areas & Lobbies: Serves as an inviting, flower-shaped sculptural centre point in waiting areas. It offers subtle, accessible overflow seating for visitors while keeping high-traffic entryways organised and clutter-free.
- Multipurpose & Event Spaces: Adapts instantly to shifting group sizes during workshops, presentations, or social events. Thanks to low-friction glides, poufs can be effortlessly kicked or pushed into place hands-free when holding drinks, notebooks, or laptops.
Higher Education & Academic:
- Student Hubs & Campus Commons: Built to withstand demanding, high-traffic academic environments where students gather between lectures. Its versatile diamond geometry encourages relaxed, active seating postures, allowing students to sit conventionally, side-seated, or astride like a saddle.
- Libraries & Quiet Study Corridors: Offers a space-efficient seating solution for breakout nooks and open library zones. When docked, the five poufs nest tightly, ensuring spaces remain safe, clear, and organised.
Arrange the Rhombic Seating System as a standalone hero piece in intimate reception areas or thoroughfares where flexible seating is required.
Alternatively, position Rhombic as a central architectural anchor within open-plan atriums or bustling corporate breakout zones. Free-standing and fully accessible from 360 degrees, it transforms these areas into functional pause points without interrupting the natural flow of movement. In expansive, large-scale interiors, place multiple units in loose geometric clusters or structured linear grids to define distinct seating islands and establish a rhythmic pattern across wide floor plates.
Pair Rhombics with low, geometric side tables and surround with tall leafy plants and room dividers to create privacy nooks or enclosed mini breakout areas. Keep nearby surfaces uncluttered to emphasise the ease with which the poufs can be withdrawn and returned, maintaining a neat, creative, and adaptable environment. Rhombics are best used on smooth, even surfaces (like concrete, carpet, or tile) to take advantage of the low friction glides.
