Encore introduces Loupe, a spirited collection of rotating stools and accompanying tables that cultivate togetherness, foster creativity and add a level of whimsy wherever they go.

Easily moveable thanks to a convenient pull handle, stools also swivel 360-degrees to allow the freedom to pivot and strike up a conversation in any direction.

Their round shape is fundamental to the design and accentuated by tailored stitching and a subtly tapered raised back that not only adds visual interest but provides additional comfort and stability.

Complementary occasional tables also feature a circular design and are outfitted with upholstered sides to allow design continuity throughout spaces. 22”, 30” and 36” diameter sizes are available in walnut and white oak veneer top surfaces as well as solid surface and laminate selections for enhanced durability, while an inset base – also integrated on stool models – is offered in a cheery array of finishes, including on-trend colors such as mint green, warm grey, smoky blue and soft yellow, further emphasizing their playful appeal.

Intended to adapt to a multitude of environments and situations as space requirements or preferences change, Loupe can stand alone for individual use or be clustered together to create collaborative arrangements of all sizes. The collection is an ideal solution for multi-use spaces, touchdown areas, learning environments and even non-traditional work zones where spontaneous idea-sharing is an everyday occurrence.

“This collection beautifully pairs contemporary design with functional elements to breathe new life into the way we work, learn and converse,” says Tammie Alciatore, Encore’s Director of Marketing. “The entire series is filled with well-executed concepts that result in an exceptionally refined yet playful offering that’s sure to get designers and specifiers talking.”

Encouraging communication, socialization and productivity, Loupe delivers a comfortable yet stimulating destination that works effortlessly in spaces of all kinds and ensures no one will ever miss a moment of conversation.
