Encore's Twirl Series Takes Lounge Seating for a Spin

Encore's popular Twirl guest series now has a lounge counterpart, broadening its appeal throughout a variety of applications.

Designed by brothers Chris and Jon Panichella, its defining characteristics are a distinctive geometric shape and signature open backrest that draw inspiration from modern architecture. The chair's tapered lines and molded back reference angular facades and linear perspectives that give the collection a unique and balanced sense of form, a design language that is shared between both lounge and guest models, allowing the two to complement one another effortlessly and help ensure a sense of aesthetic cohesiveness across environments.

Twirl lounge's ample proportions and multiple back heights, when paired with an array of upholstery styles and base options, make it an exceptionally flexible seating choice that gives designers the freedom to create looks that feel tailor-made. Mid- and high back models can be dressed up or down with Ash wood and high-gloss laminate back shell options, or a fully upholstered style with tailored stitching. Base offerings include wood legs and swivel models in wood or metal—both standard with a self-return—while a comprehensive variety of finish choices further attest to the attention paid to material detailing and overall craftsmanship.

“Building off of the highly successful Twirl guest series, the new Twirl lounge collection stays true to its architectural influences while accomplishing what we set out to do – provide an even more elevated level of comfort that strikes a balance between upscale and casual design in commercial interiors,” says Tammie Alciatore, Brand Development Manager for Encore.

Ultimately, Twirl succeeds in doing what a truly great lounge chair should: it beckons guests to unwind and recharge in style and comfort.
