When the lobby wants to be a living room

Szerkesztőség · The magazine desk

A sofa in the lobby is not culture yet. It starts to be culture when someone stays after hours, and not only for the photograph.

Offices of the past few years have learned a lot from living rooms: a lamp, a textile, a low table. The lesson stops where a living room has an owner and a lobby has opening hours. An exhibition on the ground floor, a reading group on Thursday, a jacket the dress code did not specify. This section takes those seriously, and not the ping-pong table.

A leather sofa and a reading lamp in a living room
The reference is not an office. The question is what survives of it on the ground floor.
  • A leather sofa and a reading lamp
    The living room the lobby wants to learn from.
  • A house and a yard in summer
    The summer issue’s yard, from the same question.
  • A set table
    The scene is sometimes decided at the table, not the sofa.
