Morgan, the design-led British manufacturer of contract furniture, is once again exhibiting at Sleep, 21-22nd November, at the Business Design Centre in Islington.

With a wealth of experience developed over several years, Morgan has specialist knowledge of the hotel sector making the Sleep event an important and regular fixture in their exhibition calendar. Led by Design Director, Katerina Zachariades, the Morgan design team always plans significant new launches in time for the show and this year is no exception. A new modular sofa collection as well as a new dining chair will be unveiled on their Stand M23C.

Last year the design team celebrated strong success with both the Metro and Oslo Collections. Bold and contemporary, the Metro chairs feature one-piece upholstery with button back detail, a separate timber base and optional timber arms. The result is a striking and comfortable chair that combines beautifully with the existing Lima, Soho and Manhattan collections to create an interior that is contemporary with echoes of mid century style. A matching sofa was added to the collection earlier this year.

Oslo is a lounge and dining collection with a light design. Chairs feature an elegant oak skeleton with simple drop seat and back pads. Modern manufacturing techniques have been used to achieve a hand-crafted look. These timber chairs complement any of Morgan’s existing upholstered products and new collection of tables.

Proving increasingly popular for reception areas is Manhattan, a modular seating system designed by Katerina Zachariades. Modular chairs and sofas with low or high backs feature timber or metal legs and optional armrests which are generously wide so perfect for a magazine or perching a cup of tea. Manhattan represents the ultimate in versatility as it can be produced as a single chair through to long runs of sofas and corner units to seat any number of guests.
