For the central office space, we referenced the Albion Fine Foods project by specifying products that give a sense of the great outdoors. These include desks with a natural wooden finish, acoustic wooden-panel feature walls, and bespoke planter troughs with faux foliage.
We installed the planter troughs on top of the perimeter storage, making for an impactful adaptation of an existing feature. Moreover, the faux foliage contained within the troughs reduces the need for maintenance while creating the atmosphere of a natural environment.
As the project developed, we learned that a member of the client’s team had suffered a severe back injury, which would help to inform our office furniture selection. After taking the client around the renowned Clerkenwell furniture showrooms, we added two height-adjustable desks to the main office, providing an ergonomic alternative to the static arrangement, as well as a specific task chair to provide the necessary back support.
