Boss Design – leading British seating designer and manufacturer – announce the launch of Optima, a quietly elegant chair that offers an understated yet distinguished aesthetic across its exquisite collection.Previewed at the recent Clerkenwell Design Week – London’s answer to Milan and leading UK furniture and product innovation exhibition, Optima was the main attraction and a definite head-turner at the Boss Design showroom.

Designed in-house, Optima is completely uncompromised. Its engineered upholstery has the classic touch and is further enhanced by a choice of exceptional frame finishes. The desirable collection comprises of an armchair, two seater sofa, an armchair on a bright chromed swivel base and a complementary coffee table.

Speaking about the collection Design Director, Mark Barrell said; ‘Optima symbolises the very best of British upholstery and furniture manufacture. We have taken this product to the extreme and made no compromises along the way. Its metalwork is unquestionably the very best in the world whilst the upholstery detailing is second to none.’

The collection is available in bright chrome as standard, with the armchair and matching sofa available in black or satin chrome. Its intricate tailoring and sleek profile make it the ideal choice for corporate reception and executive break-out areas.

The collection is available in any leather or fabric. For more information call the Boss Design information line on 01384 455570 or 0207 253 0364. You can also visit our website at www.boss-design.com
