With the term lounge, one associates a place accompanied with lingering physical relaxation and a pleasant atmosphere. Relaxing in contemporarily designed surroundings thus becomes an attitude toward life. This volume shows over 60 international design examples that illuminate exactly this lounge feeling from various perspectives and so offers an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of this topic for the first time. Divided into chapters on airline lounges, corporate lounges, public facilities, gastronomy, hotels, and trade fair and events, contractor, planners, and interested parties will find a wealth of inspiring and useful stimuli.
