The Base Booth Couch is a high-backed soft seating option designed for libraries, breakout spaces and calmer learning environments. Its raised sides provide a sense of enclosure and privacy, making it suitable for quiet reading, peer-to-peer learning and focused individual tasks. It can be used as a freestanding couch, a room divider or arranged face to face to create informal booth-style settings.
The Base Booth Couch is designed for schools that want to create quieter, more defined spaces within larger learning environments. Its high back and raised sides provide a natural sense of enclosure, giving students a degree of privacy for reading, focused work or peer discussion without needing to leave the shared space.
The couch can be positioned freestanding as a room divider, helping schools define distinct zones within open-plan classrooms, libraries and learning hubs. Arranging two units face to face creates an informal booth setting, which supports small-group discussion and peer-to-peer learning in a relaxed, comfortable environment.
Built on 89 mm Silver Star powder-coated steel legs with a high-quality, high-density foam seat and back, the Base Booth Couch is designed for long-term use in busy education settings. Optional castors, including two braked castors, allow it to be repositioned with ease when layouts need to change. As part of the wider Base Modular Range, it works alongside other Base collection pieces to create cohesive soft seating environments across the school.

The Base Booth Couch supports calmer, more inclusive learning environments by helping schools create spaces where students can read, focus or collaborate in a quieter, more defined setting. Its high sides provide a sense of enclosure that can help reduce visual distraction and support students who benefit from a more contained, less stimulating environment.
When positioned as a room divider, the couch helps schools activate underused areas of libraries, learning hubs and open classrooms, creating purposeful zones for different types of activity. Arranged face to face, two units support informal peer-to-peer interaction in a relaxed setting that encourages conversation and small-group learning.
