The type of quiet and calm that can only be found in a snowy Scandinavian forest was the desired result inside this members’ club at 437 Madison—an office tower located just north of Grand Central Terminal. As the first club in Sage Realty’s Oasis series, which have since opened in several of its commercial properties, the goal was to set a standard for subsequent amenity spaces that tenants can tout as incentives for their employees. Taking meetings in a comfortable lounge is certainly more alluring than a phone booth or a corporate conference room, after all.

A wide variety of furniture from multiple Stellar Works collections was nestled in to make the space feel both sophisticated and welcoming. Case in point: Taylor Sofas and Arc High Back Lounge Chairs are upholstered in rich blue fabric that conjures the deep waters of the Norwegian fjords. Meanwhile, Valet Club Chairs—whose gray cushions attach via poppers to the black tubular frames—act as accents in the open seating areas, and a row of Boyd Bar Chairs face the sleek stone bar counter.

The mood shifts from bright snowy day to cozy Hygge night in the dedicated events room, where a more verdant palette is executed via teal banquettes and a lacquered recessed ceiling. Mosaic floor tiles are laid to resemble the weave of a knitted wool sweater, and plants introduce three-dimensional texture to the perimeter. A strong rhythm is created by circular mirrors and vertically oriented brass sconces on the wood-paneled walls. This procession is echoed opposite with groupings of four Blink Lounge Chairs or pairs of Blink Two-Seater Sofas positioned around white oval-shaped tables.

Intended to promote productivity and wellness, the Oasis offers a true retreat away from the office floor—despite being a mere elevator ride away. The cool, neutral setting also showcases the Stellar Works collections in a way that allows individual pieces to shine while all harmoniously in conversation together. Perhaps over fika?
New York City architecture and interiors firm Fogarty Finger was able to evoke a cabin in the Nordic wilderness through blond wood panels and focal hearths, as well as icy patterns and textures across the reflective metallic ceiling and large area rugs.
