What does 'resimercial' mean for lounge seating?

'Resimercial' (a portmanteau of residential and commercial) describes an office design aesthetic that blends the warmth and comfort of residential furnishings with the durability and performance standards required for commercial use. In lounge seating, resimercial means: sofas and chairs with residential-inspired profiles (rolled arms, tufted details, warm wood legs) that are nonetheless built to BIFMA commercial testing standards, upholstered in commercial-grade fabrics. The trend gained traction after research showed employees were more productive and comfortable in office environments that felt more like home.
