Blossom Seating System with Docking Base

Price$4,987.00
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Blossom is a space-saving seating system designed for busy offices and academic environments. It consists of five diamond-shaped upholstered poufs that nest within a simple docking base when not in use, coming together to create the form of a flower.

Designed for breakout areas and communal spaces, Blossom provides flexible seating for informal meetings, impromptu meet-ups, waiting areas and moments of social interaction. Lightweight and fitted with low-friction glides, each pouf can be easily repositioned and returned to the docking base, helping spaces remain neat, organised and ready for whatever comes next.

Key Features:

  • Bringing People Together: Blossom is designed for breakout areas and shared spaces where people wait, congregate, socialise and connect. Its informal arrangement encourages spontaneous interaction and flexible use.
  • Flexible Seating: The diamond-shaped poufs offer a variety of sitting positions. Users can sit conventionally, with both legs to one side, or astride like a saddle, allowing them to shift position and find a comfortable way to sit.
  • Clever by Design: The docking base provides a simple, intuitive way to organise the five poufs. When not in use, they align neatly to form a distinctive flower-like arrangement, helping to keep shared spaces ordered.
  • Easy to Use: With their light weight and low-friction glides each pouf is easy to reposition with minimal effort. They can even be pushed into place with your feet when your hands are full, eliminating the need to bend down to move them.
  • Crafted in the UK: Blossom is crafted in Yorkshire, UK. The poufs combine modern joinery techniques with traditional upholstery and quality fabrics to create a robust solution for demanding environments, whilst the docking base is constructed using robust materials and proven methodologies.

- Blossom's poufs can be arranged in two different configurations - the 5-petal flower shape outlined on this page, and a 4-part diamond formation. That's why we offer two different table/docking base options, to allow you more freedom of choice. We call the 4 pouf version the Argyle 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 Blossom Seating System as a standalone hero piece in intimate reception areas or thoroughfares where flexible seating is required.

Alternatively, position Blossom 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 Blossoms 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. Blossoms are best used on smooth, even surfaces (like concrete, carpet, or tile) to take advantage of the low friction glides.
