Chicago, Illinois, June 12, 2023: Global has announced that the company will showcase this year’s new additions to its popular Drift seating series at NeoCon 2023.
Drift seating has inspired distinctive community spaces, from informal meetings and brainstorming sessions at the office to casual gatherings in healthcare settings. The highly popular series has expanded to include sled, swivel and caster base options, connecting people and places wherever the day may take us.
A great retro look, sled bases are an entry level price point for the Drift collection. All sled bases are available in twenty painted finishes or in shimmering chrome, with matching tables to complete the look. Optional arm and headrest patches protect against wear and tear in high-traffic environments, and a flip-up seat option allows for easy cleanability in healthcare applications.
Completing the Drift series are new swivel and height adjustable caster base options for light task, meeting and hospitality applications. Both bases are available in polished aluminum, a classic look that pairs well with a near endless selection of Global’s carded and Alliance Program textiles.

Sled bases for lounge and side chairs in 20 painted finishes and chrome
