What we've been up to...
Over the past months, we’ve immersed ourselves in a range of dynamic events, and we’ve had a lot of fun doing so. We made our mark at the Workspace Design Show in Amsterdam, where enthusiasts of avant-garde office spaces and cutting-edge design converged.
We hosted a thought-provoking 'Designing for Neurodiversity' talk featuring Kelly Grainger from Perfectly Autistic in our London showroom. We also organised an insightful acoustics workshop in our London showroom led by Ros Lambert-Porter. Supporting charitable causes, we attended the Overbury Charity Music Night, contributing to the support of SEND Socials, a local charity providing social opportunities for families of children with additional needs.
And to add a touch of creativity, we attended a 'Make Your Own One-of-a-Kind Silver Jewellery' workshop, an unforgettable evening guided by expert Elin. Cheers to everyone who made these experiences extraordinary!
