| PAD |
 |
| Ryan have developed a new range of
informal upholstered seating and
accompanying tables, designed to make it
easier for people to mingle in public spaces.
Often public seating is arranged in closed
groups, such as paired sofas, seats
arranged around tables, or lines of beam
seating. However, Pad allows the tables to
be arranged around the seat, with more
seats creating open links to other tables,
forming a chain or a cluster. |
