When companies downsize, relocate, or simply rethink how their space is used, one category of furniture that seems daunting to many is lounge furniture. 

Lounge furniture is extremely important in office spaces. Some of the best-built, most thoughtfully designed pieces in an office are often found in lounge areas: reception seating, collaboration zones, privacy pods, and soft seating environments meant to make people feel comfortable and welcomed. 

At OFR, high-end lounge furniture from top manufacturers comes through our doors in excellent condition, ready for a second life. If you’re considering buying used office lounge furniture, here are the brands we recommend most – and why they’re worth your attention. 

Steelcase Turnstone: Flexible, Modern, and Budget-Friendly 

Turnstone, also by Steelcase, takes a slightly different approach – more agile, more adaptable, and often more accessible in price. 

We often recommend Turnstone for: 

• Startups 

• Small businesses 

• Flexible office layouts 

Their lounge pieces are lightweight, reconfigurable, modern, and easy to integrate into evolving spaces. Used Turnstone furniture is especially popular because it strikes a balance between design and practicality. 

Bernhardt: Hospitality-Level Comfort Meets Office Durability 

Bernhardt is a name many people associate with high-end residential or hospitality furniture, making it a reliable go-to brand for office lounge spaces. 

Their pieces tend to be: 

• More refined and upscale 

• Exceptionally comfortable 

• Built with premium upholstery and finishes 

We often see Bernhardt used in executive waiting areas, client-facing spaces, high-end office environments. If you’re trying to make a strong first impression, Bernhardt is a smart choice – especially when purchased used. 

OFS: Privacy Lounges That Actually Work 

As offices shift toward hybrid work, privacy lounges and acoustic seating have become essential. 

OFS has emerged as a leader in this space. Their lounge solutions often include high-back seating for acoustic privacy, semi-enclosed pods, and integrated work surfaces with power options. 

These are ideal for: 

• Open offices 

• Focus zones 

• Quiet collaboration rooms 

Buying these used can be a major cost saver – especially since new privacy furniture can be a significant investment. 

Allermuir: Elevated Design with a European Edge 

Allermuir brings a distinctly modern, design-forward aesthetic to office lounge spaces, with roots in British craftsmanship and contemporary European styling. 

We often recommend Allermuir for design-conscious offices, client-facing environments, and collaborative social spaces. 

Their lounge pieces are known for: 

• Sleek, architectural lines 

• High-end materials and upholstery 

• A balance of comfort and visual impact 

Allermuir furniture is often specified by designers for spaces where appearance matters just as much as function. From statement lounge chairs to refined seating collections, their pieces help create environments that feel curated and intentional. 

Buying Allermuir used allows companies to access premium, designer-level furniture at a much more approachable price point – making it a strong option for businesses looking to elevate their space without overspending. 

Steelcase Coalesse: Designed for Modern Workspaces 

Steelcase’s Coalesse line is built specifically for lounge and collaborative environments – and it shows. 

These pieces are: 

• Architecturally designed 

• Built with premium materials 

• Made to support both comfort and productivity 

From open lounge seating to modular arrangements, Coalesse furniture fits seamlessly into reception areas, collaboration zones, and hybrid workspaces. When buying used, Coalesse is one of the best values you’ll find – high design without the high price tag. 

Why We Love These Brands

Brands like Steelcase, Bernhardt, Allermuir and OFS consistently deliver long-term durability, timeless designs, and strong resale value. That’s why they show up again and again in our inventory and are highly requested by our shoppers. When you buy pre-owned from these brands, you’re getting furniture that still has years (if not decades) of life left. 

If you’re looking for specific pieces or want help sourcing the right lounge furniture for your space, OFR can help you find options that fit your layout, your budget, and your timeline. 

What to Look for When Buying Used Lounge Furniture 

Here’s what we help our customers evaluate every day: 

1. Structural Integrity: Frames should be solid – no wobble, no instability. 

2. Upholstery Condition: Minor wear is normal, but high-quality brands tend to hold up extremely well over time. 

3. Brand Reputation: Commercial-grade manufacturers (like the ones above) are built to last. 

4. Flexibility: Modular or reconfigurable pieces offer more long-term value.
