Depending on the arrangement of the seating in short, medium or long wave sine curves, it is possible to create a variety of configurations of collective spaces (teamwork, informal meetings) or more private niches (relaxation or reading areas, individual work).

Spacing panels of various sizes allow to set-up small meeting environments or lounges for a few people.

The alternation of opposite sides of the seats contributes to optimize the floor space in order to offer a high seating density while ensuring the privacy of the users.

The plinth base allows for the addition of swivel console tables and wireless charging system as well as the integration of the power outlet. AIRWAVE is also available in a freestanding version on legs. Occasional tables complete the system.
