Hello Lounge Makes Dezeen Awards Shortlist

Patricia Urquiola's Hello features a collection of active lounge chairs and poufs

November 25, 2025 – Haworth’s redesigned Hello Lounge Collection was named to the 2025 Dezeen Awards Shortlist. Selected in the Workplace Design category, Hello supports diverse workstyles in flexible spaces. Honored projects were selected by Dezeen judges from more than 4,300 entries in 89 countries.

Reimagined by award-winning international architect and designer, Patricia Urquiola, Hello features a fresh aesthetic that combines the comfort of lounge seating with the mobility and practicality of conference chairs. This flexible seating family now has a softer, more contemporary design that utilizes the solid platform and time-tested interior framing of the original chair.

Now in its eighth year, Dezeen Awards recognize international design excellence, honoring exceptional architecture, interiors, design and sustainability projects worldwide. The full list of Dezeen Award winners and honorees can be found here.
