High performance lounge seating with sustainability and comfort

Integra has been providing lounge seating solutions in a variety of educational settings for 40 years. Our large offering of lounge seating and tables are able to meet the flexible requirements of today's learning environments.

Diversity of product and features, mobility for flexible, multi-purpose uses, and comfortable seating for individual focus or for socializing and collaboration are highly important attributes among students and staff. Durability, cost-effectiveness, sustainability and cleanability are highly important to the facilities and administrative personnel.

Integra's lounge furniture offers a remarkable combination of design, comfort, strength and function along with sustainability and providing the best value for the long-term investment. All of which has never mattered more.

3 Must-Have Features for Lounge Seating in Today's Learning Facilities

On campuses, lounge seating is utilized by people of varying body types and in multiple ways and often are in use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Facility managers can protect their investment by selecting lounge furniture with three important features.

MUST-HAVE FEATURE #1 – COMPONENT-BASED CONSTRUCTION
At Integra, every seating line is designed to have replaceable parts; i.e. legs, feet, arms, arm caps, seats and backs. This significantly reduces the facility’s expenses related to any product damage or fabric failures. Many lounge products on the market do not have this extremely important attribute.

Buying a high-quality and proven seating solution with component-based construction is both a financial and environmental benefit. It’s much more cost effective, thus decreasing the Total Cost of Ownership, and much more sustainable to repair or replace just one component than buying the entire chair again if something is damaged or worn out.

MUST-HAVE FEATURE #2 – SUPERIOR PRODUCT STRENGTH
Not all furniture is created equal. All Integra chairs have a 2000 lb static capacity and a 1000 lb dynamic capacity. It’s the daily use these chairs endure over time that separates the products with superior strength. Integra products will be structurally sound and comfortable for at least 20 years. Integra offers a Lifetime Warranty to stand behind this claim.

MUST-HAVE FEATURE #3 – CLEANABILITY
Product cleanability has always been important, but now it’s especially important in the midst of a global pandemic. Integra not only has clean-outs in many of their designs, but also all-sides clean-outs to ensure the best access around the seats to clean and sanitize for the safety of the users. Integra also offers metal arm frame options in various series, and solid surface options for arm caps, tablets and table tops for the best in cleanability and sanitizing.

A functional cup holder option is also available on the rectangular tablets. Integra offers all these great options on nearly all their lounge designs.
