Woud Nakki Lobby Corner Module - 650371 1B

The Woud Nakki Lobby Corner module solves that tricky problem of creating comfortable seating arrangements that can actually handle the way people use public and commercial spaces - it's built tough enough for hotel lobbies and co-working spaces but still looks sophisticated rather than institutional. Designer Mika Tolvanen took the friendly, approachable character of the original Nakki collection and scaled it up for environments where furniture needs to work harder and accommodate more diverse users throughout the day. The corner piece creates natural gathering spots and helps define conversation areas without requiring walls or barriers, while the 78cm square footprint gives people enough room to settle in comfortably without hogging space.

The modular system really shines when you need flexibility - you can start with a few pieces and add more as needs change, or reconfigure existing modules when spaces get repurposed for different events or activities. The black painted metal legs keep the visual weight manageable even when you're clustering multiple pieces together, and the memory foam construction bounces back after heavy use instead of developing those sad, permanent dents that cheaper commercial furniture gets. With five different fabric and leather price groups available, you can dial in the right balance between durability and budget without being stuck with whatever basic options most contract furniture companies offer.

Woud continues this approach where Danish design principles get applied to real-world commercial challenges rather than just creating pretty furniture for design magazines. Their partnership with Mika Tolvanen reflects this commitment to understanding how spaces actually function when filled with people who aren't being careful with the furniture. The brand focuses on creating pieces that enhance daily interactions through thoughtful design rather than just checking boxes for commercial durability requirements, ensuring their modular systems work as well for impromptu meetings as they do for planned presentations or casual social gatherings.
