Material - Foresso Product - Bianco London Plane In their new Manchester office The Furniture Practice opted for a Bianco London Plane table and tea station. The overall design is very clean and modern but the inclusion of our timber terrazzo brings a bit of character and warmth into the space and compliments that industrial columns of the historic building. Today's workspace design needs to be functional but still welcoming. Hybrid working means that the nature of staff collaboration is changing and increased need for large tables makes our surfaces an ideal choice for feature areas.

In private working booths our tables are combined with Oak faced acoustic panelling and mustard colour upholstery. It's become increasingly important for modern workspaces to embrace natural materials for the benefit of staff, as well as to showcase your organisation's values. Photography - Phil Boorman

Material - Foresso Product - Charcoal Walnut and Bianco London Plane Countertops and reception desks for this hotel in our home city of Birmingham, United Kingdom. For this refurb the client opted for a new material language with a focus on natural surfaces and welcoming warmth. Mitre joined edges create the impression of a solid slab, a practical option for projects that don't want to show the plywood substrate. Incorporating our materials into concierge and guest tables helped tie the spaces together into a unified visual language. In the hotel bar Bianco London Plane was used to make shelving, continuing the welcoming feeling throughout the public spaces. Photography - Tom Bird Client - Leonardo Royal Hotel

Material - Foresso Product - Bespoke Sycamore in a white binder At this iconic office in the heart of London we made statement reception desks, breakout space furniture, and an expansive 10 metre long conference table. By repurposing timber offcuts from the project we created a bespoke circular solution that contributed to lowering the carbon footprint of this refit. We worked closely with the main contractor and site joiners to ensure a seamless installation of the custom designs that bring warm to the public facing spaces of the building. In modern offices material choice is increasingly important for employee welfare, indoor air quality, and reducing the carbon footprint of the project.

By incorporating our warm tones with soft materials the space is given a feeling of a welcoming refuge, perfect for cold winter days.
