Narbutas Debuts Flexible Workplace Furniture on Dezeen Showroom

This article explores how Lithuanian office furniture brand Narbutas is reshaping modern workplaces in 2025. Their new range of acoustic pods, seating collections, and ergonomic task chairs are designed in collaboration with leading international studios.

As open-plan offices evolve toward flexible, wellness-focused environments, these products show where workplace design is heading. The range covers quiet zones, hospitality-inspired lounges, and ergonomic seating.

Narbutas and the New Language of the Modern Office

For decades, office furniture focused on fitting more people into less space. Today, successful workplaces balance acoustics, flexibility, and comfort.

Narbutas has embraced this shift with a portfolio that blends functional performance and architectural character. Their products remain practical for real-world fit-outs and refurbishments.

Their latest releases on Dezeen Showroom reflect a clear strategy. They offer modular tools that architects and designers can adapt to different work modes—focus, collaboration, and relaxation—while maintaining visual coherence and budget control.

Sonus S+: Acoustic Privacy for Solo Work

The Sonus S+ acoustic pod is Narbutas’ solution to the open-plan challenge: providing a space for concentration or private calls. Designed for solo work, this compact pod delivers acoustic separation without feeling closed in.

Key features of the Sonus S+ include:

  • Integrated convenience: built-in power outlets keep devices charged, and bag hooks keep belongings off the floor.
  • Automatic lighting: occupancy-sensitive lighting ensures brightness when in use and saves energy when empty.
  • Quiet ventilation: continuous air circulation maintains comfort without adding noise.
  • Mobile by design: discreet castors allow easy reconfiguration as needs change.
  • The interior PET felt wall panels come in multiple colors. Designers can blend the pod into a calm palette or use it as a visual accent in the office.

    Sonus M: A Compact Space for Two

    Narbutas has also introduced Sonus M, a two-person acoustic pod for quick meetings, one-on-ones, and co-working. Sonus M supports collaboration without needing a full meeting room.

    The Sonus M includes integrated seating and a central table, enabling:

  • Informal meetings without formal boardrooms.
  • Video calls in an acoustically controlled space.
  • Project check-ins shielded from open-plan distractions.
  • Sonus S+ and Sonus M form a micro-architecture toolkit for planners and designers. These acoustic “rooms” can be added or moved without construction work.

    Soft Architecture: Myami, Sandie and the Rise of Lounge-Centric Offices

    While acoustic pods address noise and privacy, seating shapes the character of a workplace. Narbutas works with international collaborators to create lounge and task seating that bridges hospitality and office needs.

    This suite of products helps organizations move away from rigid, desk-only layouts. The focus is on more fluid, choice-based work environments.

    Myami: Art Deco Comfort with a Contemporary Edge

    In collaboration with MUCNYC, Narbutas developed the Myami seating collection. Inspired by art deco architecture, Myami features rounded silhouettes and inviting volumes that evoke hotel lounges.

    The collection includes:

  • A generously scaled lounge chair for reception areas, quiet corners, or informal collaboration zones.
  • Two- and three-seater sofas with soft, rounded forms for relaxed posture and longer stays.
  • Myami’s design softens the hard lines of desks and storage. This makes offices feel more welcoming and less institutional.

    Sandie: Expanded Versatility for Meeting and Breakout Spaces

    Narbutas’ collaboration with Italian studio Baldanzi & Novelli has expanded the Sandie collection. Originally a versatile chair family, Sandie now includes new elements for broader office use.

    The latest additions include:

  • A new ottoman for touchdown zones, casual seating, or collaborative spaces.
  • A padded leather version of the Sandie chair, offering more comfort and a premium look for executive or client areas.
  • Multiple base options so designers can match Sandie to different zones, from meeting rooms to canteens and breakout areas.
  • This configurability creates a unified look across a project while tailoring each space to its purpose.

    Eira Task Chair: Ergonomics Made Accessible

    The task chair has the most direct impact on health, productivity, and comfort. Working with Spanish firm Alegre Design, Narbutas developed the Eira task chair to balance ergonomics, adaptability, and cost.

    Eira is characterized by:

  • Ergonomic support that encourages healthy posture with easy adjustments.
  • Neutral, timeless styling that fits many interior styles, from tech hubs to traditional offices.
  • Affordability for broad specification across large teams.
  • For architects and facility managers, Eira offers a single, well-designed task chair that can be used confidently throughout the office.

    A Global Brand Shaping the Future of Workspaces

    Behind these individual products lies a broader ecosystem. Narbutas operates showrooms in the UK, US, France, Germany, Poland, and Lithuania.

    This makes it accessible for international project teams and local specifiers. These physical spaces allow architects, designers, and clients to experience the products at full scale before committing to a scheme.

    Narbutas collaborates with recognized studios and uses platforms such as Dezeen Showroom. This positions its collections within global conversations about workplace design.

    The portfolio supports contemporary needs like acoustic control, flexibility, user well-being, and visual quality. It remains practical for real projects and budgets.
