Valli Float

With its versatile form, Valli Float responds to its placement. Whether nestled straight-backed against a wall or positioned as a centrepiece for the hub of office life, the Valli collection is endlessly adaptive. A curated Valli collection can be used to efficiently delineate between key work zones: Community, Retreat and Transitional Space, with seating positioned at the threshold between spaces.

The option of power charging points enables productivity to prosper beyond the desk. The seamless integration of these points celebrates both physical connection to colleagues in the workplace mindful of today’s remote working reality, and providing an opportunity for digital connection.

Inspired by precise detailed tailored clothing, the inset stitching detail has been applied with exacting perseverance, despite the pliant stretch of the fabric. The subtle colour contrast of the line guides the eye along the solid arms, before cascading down, grounding the seating in place. The choice of how the finishes selected across all elements of the piece come together is yours – with extensive material combination options included.

Valli is the latest line demonstrating Schiavello’s extensive research into movement and psychology, ever centred on understanding and supporting human behaviour in the workplace. To this end, the collection accommodates a range of uses, easily adapted from incidental laptop perch to semi-enclosed conversation zone, or welcoming waiting lounge. Its upholstery extends an open invitation to converge and contemplate.

In this current period of immense global change, we find the corporate landscape in an infinite state of transition. Productivity is required in the office and the home, incorporating more remote work tools, online collaboration and diverse working modes than ever. Valli empowers people and businesses to meet these modern challenges, grounding environments in tailored, functional professionalism.
