Morgan Furniture, the design-led British manufacturer of contract furniture, has re launched their Arena and Siena Collections for 2010 with refreshed designs and new shapes that bring both ranges bang up to date.Arena tub chairs are cleverly designed with an identical footprint so can be grouped together to provide a varied visual arrangement. This concept has been expanded further with a new contemporary slim seat chair with a clean linear profile and a newly introduced brushed steel swivel base. The same design is available with a deeper comfortable sit for lounges and as a small two seater sofa that complements the range and is ideal for reception areas.

Siena is a relaxed but elegant collection of tub chairs, swivel base chairs, daybeds and benches featuring a flowing curved profile and choice of simple turned legs or a more substantial polished timber base. The Siena 650T swivel armchair is a new addition to the Siena collection and has a hidden swivel mechanism above the show wood base making it ideal as a generous lounge chair that combines a timber base with the added comfort of the swivel action.

The range is comprehensive with models to suit every application including meeting and dining rooms, reception and lounge areas, plus more relaxed areas such as hotel bedrooms and spas. The rectangular and square benches bring added versatility for creating varied seating design schemes.

Both the Arena and Siena Collections are designed by Morgan Design Director, Katerina Zachariades.

All designs are exclusive to Morgan and are made with care in their own factory in Hampshire by a team of craftsmen.
