West Chicago, IL –– The new Forté™ Series lounge seating collection of contract furniture is now available with interchangeable base styles, optional coordinating upholstered seats, and connecting tables for over 3,500 design and layout options. Ideal for healthcare, hospitality, education, and other commercial interiors, the Forte™ Series is manufactured by Norix.
Forté™ Series Lounge Seating features durable molded chairs in both an arm chair and armless chair with bases in wood, steel, or molded polymer, which make them suitable for a variety of environments and styles. The roto-molded chairs come in 8 designer colors from Norix’s own Naturals Color Collection <http://www.norix.com/pdf_brochures/norix_designguide.pdf> and are highly durable, easy to clean, and impervious to liquids.
