Set across seven floors, the firm's new home is made for collaboration with a mix of flexible workspaces, meeting rooms, breakout areas, event space and a generous reception area. Old and new materials interweave with handcrafted and industrial elements reflecting the location's heritage and the dynamism of the new development.

We worked closely with the team and stakeholders to define their ambitions for the project and create a furniture package that enhances the scheme's characterful spaces and historical nature. The result is a combination of high-quality, contemporary furniture in warm neutral tones and a workplace that feels refined and understated.
As well as meetings and one-to-ones with the team, we held mock-ups to let everyone experience the furniture in person. The thorough engagement process meant we could deliver on the desired aesthetic and the budget.
