Elevating Urban Outdoor Spaces: Paperclip Loungers in a City Rooftop Retreat
In the heart of the city, where green spaces are scarce and outdoor areas are a premium, architects and designers are redefining rooftops as vibrant, functional retreats. Transforming these elevated environments into inviting and durable spaces requires furniture that balances form, function, and resilience.
For this urban rooftop courtyard, Neatt’s Paperclip Loungers provided the perfect seating solution—offering a sleek, architectural presence while maintaining the durability needed for an exposed outdoor setting. Designed with precision-formed steel, these loungers feature the signature Paperclip frame, a seamless fusion of structural integrity and refined minimalism.
To enhance comfort and customization, the loungers were paired with removable cushions upholstered in a client-specified outdoor fabric, ensuring both durability and design continuity with the surrounding aesthetic. The result is an adaptable, stylish seating arrangement that invites users to relax, socialize, and unwind in an environment that merges nature with urban life.
With Neatt’s Paperclip Loungers, this rooftop courtyard became more than just an outdoor space—it became a curated destination for connection, reflection, and escape from the city’s fast pace.
Bespoke Dolio Tables: Transforming Workplace Breakout Spaces
In modern workplace design, breakout spaces serve as dynamic hubs for collaboration, focus, and relaxation—offering employees an alternative to traditional desk environments. For architects and designers, the challenge lies in creating furniture that seamlessly integrates into these spaces while enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
For this commercial office project, Neatt’s Bespoke Dolio Tables were carefully designed and crafted to define the breakout area, providing a versatile and visually striking solution tailored to the client’s needs. Featuring Neatt’s signature open drum base, these tables balance sculptural presence with practical durability, offering a grounded yet adaptable aesthetic that complements the workplace's evolving nature.
Each table was customized to align with the company’s material and color palette, ensuring a cohesive visual language throughout the space. The design promotes interaction and flexibility, supporting both impromptu meetings and quiet moments of respite, fostering a workplace culture of creativity and engagement.
With Bespoke Dolio Tables, this breakout space became more than just an area to pause—it became a deliberately curated environment that encourages connection, enhances workflow, and enriches the overall workplace experience.
Outdoor Paperclip Stools: A Seamless Blend of Functionality & Aesthetic Harmony
In commercial outdoor spaces, furniture must strike a delicate balance between durability, versatility, and design cohesion. Architects and designers carefully curate materials, forms, and finishes to create spaces that feel both inviting and enduring, ensuring that every element enhances the overall user experience.
For this commercial project, Neatt’s Paperclip 450 Stools were selected as the ideal seating solution—bringing a lightweight, sculptural presence to the outdoor environment while seamlessly complementing the project’s color story. Finished in a pale eucalypt powder coat, these stools integrate effortlessly with the natural surroundings, offering a subtle yet refined design statement that enhances the outdoor aesthetic.
The signature Paperclip frame, precision-formed from steel, provides both structural integrity and visual lightness, making the stools an adaptable choice for a dynamic outdoor setting. Whether used for casual seating, impromptu gatherings, or as part of a larger outdoor installation, the stools foster a sense of connection and ease within the space.
Designed for both longevity and design continuity, the Paperclip 450 Stools contribute to an elevated outdoor experience—a place where function meets refined simplicity, and where every detail supports the broader architectural vision.
Bespoke Dolio Table: A Playful Yet Refined Statement in Design
Architects and designers are constantly exploring ways to push the boundaries of form and function, creating furniture that not only serves a purpose but also contributes to the overall experience of a space. In this project, the Bespoke Dolio Table was envisioned as more than just a surface—it became an architectural element, defining the environment with a balance of softness, dynamism, and playfulness.
This custom configuration utilizes multiple bases and an integrated rail system, allowing for a fluid yet structured composition that enhances both visual interest and practicality. The design introduces a gentle rhythm of curves and intersecting lines, giving the table an organic presence that complements its surroundings while maintaining a sense of stability.
By embracing customization and modular adaptability, the Dolio Table transforms into a multi-functional centerpiece—perfect for collaborative work, social interactions, or as a sculptural feature within the space. Its playful yet refined structure invites engagement, offering a dynamic contrast to traditional table forms.
With Neatt’s Bespoke Dolio Table, this project exemplifies the power of intentional design, where materiality, form, and craftsmanship come together to create a striking yet approachable addition to the built environment.
Bespoke Dolio Lectern: A Seamless Fusion of Aesthetic & Functionality
Architects and designers craft spaces where every element contributes to a unified experience—from the architectural envelope down to the finest details of furniture and fixtures. When approached to design a bespoke lectern as part of a larger project featuring Neatt’s signature Dolio Drum Tables, we saw an opportunity to create a piece that was not only functional but also seamlessly integrated into the broader design vision.
The client’s brief called for a highly considered AV-integrated solution, requiring functional shelving for equipment storage and a sloped top that would visually complement the surrounding furniture. Drawing inspiration from the distinctive cylindrical form of the Dolio collection, we developed the Dolio Lectern—a sculptural yet practical addition that maintains a cohesive material and design language throughout the space.
Designed to be versatile and adaptable, the Dolio Lectern has since evolved into a customizable solution for a wide range of projects. We now offer tailored configurations that accommodate specific AV and data requirements, alongside custom powder-coated finishes and timber top options to align with varying aesthetic and functional needs.
With the Bespoke Dolio Lectern, Neatt continues to bridge the gap between form and function, providing architects and designers with tailored, considered solutions that enhance both the visual narrative and practical performance of a space.
Paperclip Loungers & Tables: Enhancing Outdoor Spaces at UNSW
In contemporary campus design, outdoor spaces play a crucial role in fostering connection, relaxation, and informal learning. When UNSW sought to refresh its courtyard furniture, the goal was to create an inviting, durable, and distinctly Australian outdoor setting—one that seamlessly blended functionality with a refined design aesthetic.
As part of this upgrade, Neatt’s Paperclip Loungers and Low-Height Tables were selected to contribute to a cohesive, high-quality outdoor environment. The loungers, featuring spotted gum timber armrests, introduce a natural warmth and tactile contrast to the sleek, powder-coated steel frame—offering students and staff a comfortable place to unwind.
Paired with low Paperclip tables, the collection creates a versatile outdoor setting, encouraging both individual use and group interaction. The lightweight yet durable design ensures that the pieces withstand the demands of a busy university environment while maintaining their elegant simplicity and enduring appeal.
By incorporating Australian-designed and manufactured furniture, UNSW’s refreshed courtyard now reflects a strong local design narrative, elevating the outdoor experience with a balance of comfort, durability, and timeless design.
