Contract quality where people actually live.
Build-to-rent amenity lounges, co-living common rooms and premium developments need furniture with residential warmth and commercial bones. LIVSeating builds both into the same chair: solid-timber and steel construction specified for contract duty, finished and upholstered like furniture someone chose for their own home.

Amenity spaces are hospitality spaces
A BTR lounge takes hotel-lobby levels of use with none of the housekeeping. That is a contract specification: CMHR foam, cleanable contract fabrics, joints built for daily repositioning. LIVSeating pieces meet it while keeping residential proportions and finishes, so the amenity floor photographs like a home and wears like a hotel.

From show flat to full scheme
No minimum order lets an interior designer furnish the show flat first and roll the same pieces across the scheme once it lets. Fabrics repeat exactly — the six in-house contract families are held in stock — and four-week lead times ex-works keep furniture aligned with phased handovers. For senior-living projects, firmer seats and full-height arms are available where residents need support standing.
How supply works — lead times, quoting, making, shipping — lives on the contract supply page; the detail is in the specifier FAQ.
- Is contract furniture over-specified for residential use?
- For a private home, perhaps. For shared amenity spaces, show flats and rental stock, contract construction is the difference between furniture that lasts the tenancy cycle and furniture replaced at every turnover.
- Can you match a show-flat scheme two years later?
- Yes — specifications are kept on file, the in-house fabric families are held in stock, and stained-beech and RAL finishes repeat exactly. A reorder matches the original delivery.
