MODERN LOUNGE THE MODERN LOUNGE. MADE BY VS. 4 | VS America, Inc. Modern Lounge | 5 Inviting comfort, inspired. The Modern Lounge. Though work processes can be planned down to the smallest detail, the people in a company have an asset that make them unique: The capacity to think, make decisions, and act intuitively. This capacity needs a place where it can unfold. Spontaneous meetings flourish in The Modern Lounge, where the combination of seating and creative partitions lets you fashion an island within the room where you can talk undisturbed. Add a built-in display and you can start collaborating. Try it out. Take a seat. And broaden your horizons. 6 | VS America, Inc.
