Century City Corporate Lounge

An executive lounge in a Class-A office tower used for client entertaining. The brief was residential warmth in a commercial envelope: hotel-quality drapery, inherent FR for code, and a heading that didn't read corporate.

Ripple fold in inherent-FR linen-look performance cloth, ceiling-mounted on a concealed track wrapping three walls of glass. The continuous wave reads as residential warmth; the FR rating satisfies the building's commercial code.

Inherent FR Trevira CS in a linen-look weave, tonal warm bone. Trevira specifically because it reads as natural fiber to the eye and the hand while meeting commercial FR code without re-treatment.

Concealed Forest Group track set into a perimeter soffit. Manual hand-draw — the lounge programming did not warrant motorization, and the operator preferred staff control.

Wave fold spacing at 100% — enough wave depth to read as designed, restrained enough to stack tight on the column returns. Fullness specification governed by the carrier spacing rather than panel fullness.

The room reads as hotel lounge, not as conference center. Clients comment on the drapery before they comment on the view. My recommendation for hospitality and corporate hospitality: never specify topical FR. Inherent FR is the only specification that survives a decade of commercial use.
