What is the difference between a lounge chair and an accent chair for office use?

The distinction is largely about function and scale. A lounge chair is optimized for comfort and extended sitting — deeper seat, lower profile, more reclined posture. An accent chair is sized and styled for a secondary seating position — shorter seat, upright posture, visual interest rather than maximum comfort. In a reception area, accent chairs provide a formal, upright seating position appropriate for brief waits. In a break room or relaxation area, lounge chairs support longer, more comfortable sitting. For conference-adjacent informal meeting areas, accent chairs (sometimes called 'guest chairs') bridge the gap — supportive enough to sit in during a 30-minute casual meeting.
