Vitra Soft Wait Seating System Designed by Edward Barber-Jay Osgerby

The Soft Wait seating collection, designed by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby and produced by Vitra, offers a modular system that combines comfort and functionality in high-traffic public spaces, such as airports. Its flexible design allows linear, curved, or island configurations, adapting to various needs in waiting areas, gates, security checkpoints, lounges, and dining points.

The modular structure of Soft Wait enables the creation of seating rows or more complex layouts, optimizing corners and circulation paths, with particular attention to ergonomics and durability. Metal components, including legs and armrests, are available in different finishes, while integrated tables between seats enhance the functionality of the spaces.

Upholstery in durable and sustainable materials, such as Skai Pureto EN, ensures easy maintenance and cleaning, essential for intensive public use. Its sober and linear design allows Soft Wait to blend harmoniously into modern interiors, bringing order and comfort to waiting areas and transit zones.

Soft Wait combines aesthetics, ergonomics, and modularity, making it an ideal solution not only for airports but also for stations, institutional halls, and any collective space with high pedestrian flow.
