If public spaces could talk, what would they promise to do better in 2025? Or maybe, what would we ask that they promise for 2025…?!
Would the airport terminal vow to create a more peaceful vibe? Would the library corner pledge to upgrade its coziness?
We decided to imagine the New Year’s resolutions of some well-loved spaces—and spoiler alert, they’re all about thoughtful design, comfort, and making every seat count. Let’s hear what they have to say.
Airport Terminal: “I want to ease the travel hustle.”
"In 2025, I promise to stop being ‘that’ stressful space where people just want to escape me. Instead, I’ll focus on comfort and efficiency."
With more travelers looking for calm amid the chaos, airport terminals are prioritizing soft seating that feels like a mini getaway. Modular collections like Flexxform’s Ter are perfect for creating flexible nooks where passengers can chill or focus. Plus, adding laptop tables (hello, Tas!) and charging ports is a no-brainer to keep flyers connected and content.
Bonus resolution? More vibrant upholstery options—because who said airport seating had to be boring?
University Lounge: “I’m all about fostering connection and focus.”
"I know I’ve been a bit of a slouch. This year, I’ll level up my layout to create the ultimate balance between socializing and studying."
Campus lounges are overdue for a refresh that caters to Gen Z’s need for flexible, multi-use spaces. Think cozy pods with high-backed seating (like Ion) for focused study sessions, paired with stylish, bold ottoman tables (Tay) for group projects or casual hangs. Oh, and let’s not forget about durability—because if anyone knows how to test furniture’s limits, it’s college students.
Pro tip: Textured fabrics and fun pops of color will keep the lounge looking modern while still inviting.
Hotel Lobby: “I want to feel more like home.”
"In 2025, I’ll ditch my stiff, sterile vibes and embrace a cozy, living-room-like feel."
The hotel lobby is no longer just a place to check in—it’s where guests start their experience. Sofas with plush seating, like Flexxform’s Bea, make a great first impression while adding warmth. Pair them with accent chairs and ottomans that are as comfy as they are stylish.
Guests also appreciate practical touches like small, sturdy laptop tables (Tas, again for the win!) and lounge pieces designed for easy movement—because nobody wants to feel stuck in one corner.
Library Corner: “I’ll be the coziest escape in town.”
"I admit, I’ve been a little outdated, but in 2025, I’ll be the soft-seating haven readers dream of."
Libraries are making a comeback as community hubs and comfortable seating is key to drawing people in. Comfortable and swivel seating like Via, can create semi-private spaces for readers who want to focus or curl up with a book. Pairing them with ottomans or side tables gives readers a spot to place their coffee—or let’s be honest, their phone.
Add in some biophilic touches, like earthy tones and organic curves, to make the space feel like a modern retreat. Libraries can be functional and inviting—because books deserve that kind of respect.
Shopping Mall Lounge: “I’m ready to keep shoppers energized.”
"This year, I want to be more than just a bench in the corner. I’m going for stylish and functional."
Shoppers need places to recharge—literally and figuratively. Soft-seating solutions like Box Benches are a game-changer for malls. They’re versatile, sturdy, and perfect for taking a break without sacrificing style. Pair benches with modular pieces like Ace 2.0 to create dynamic seating areas that suit small groups or individuals.
And don’t underestimate the power of fun textures and bold colors! Shoppers notice these details, and it turns your lounge into a destination rather than an afterthought.
