With the Reception area suitably refreshed post- a major design refurbishment, our HQ's Showrooms have been next up for an update.

On this occasion, the emphasis has been on reprioritising our offer visually. Rather than renew fixtures and fittings, we analysed and determined which elements of our ranges act best as focal points and which function complementarily as a backdrop and landscape.

The result better accentuates the aesthetic appeal of VERCO furniture individually and collectively.

So - next time you are with us, do ask to be shown round.

Mesh backs to chair are nothing new but they tend be out of the budget range of many. This seemed unreasonable hence new Mesh - and a chair that could not be more aptly named.

This good looking and very comfortable operator chair couples generous levels of upholstery to sophisticated engineering and does it all at a realistic price point.

A smooth, synchronised under-seat mechanism provides correct dynamic posture support while simple finger-tip adjustments ensure perfect posture is achievable from the seated position.
Users seek customer solutions and mesh delivers.

A simple trip to fetch water may have proved too much for the nursery rhyme characters, but this funky duo is made of sterner stuff.

Ready to do wonders with any restaurant, café or bistro area, Jack and Jill may be minimalist in design terms, but they make a strong visual impact thanks to the special material sourced by VERCO.

A chrome wire frame option is complemented by a two-tone shell manufactured from a new moulded polyurethane foam called Tech® that’s developed to be completely self supporting.

A major new component in Oxford University's 15 year re-development programme of its Science Area, the award-winning £49m Department of Biochemistry building incorporates Oblique desking, Pop task seating, and meeting and café tables selected from the VERCO workplace range by project furniture consultants, Allitec.

The distinctive 12,000 sq m facility by Hawkins/Brown Architects homes a large open atrium with work and breakout spaces designed to enable openness and transparency to establish a collaborative environment for 300 lecturers, researchers and students previously housed in separate buildings across the University's Science Area.

Glass plays a major role in resolving the building’s core design aims. The glass exterior enables laboratories and researchers to be visible from the outside while coloured glass fins located throughout cast changing patterns of light while solar cells on the roof as well as provide a significant part of the building’s electricity.

At its centre, a 400 sq m naturally ventilated, timber clad atrium opens five floors of breakout areas and open-plan workspaces dispersed to different levels. Allitec worked closely with Hawkins\Brown to generate innovative ideas for furniture solutions for offices and meeting rooms
“Critically, these solutions focused on the need to be cost effective but also sympathetic to the design concepts of the building,” said Hawkins\Brown associate director, Morag Morrison.

Supported by principal furniture partner, VERCO, Allitec successfully added to both practical and aesthetic design aims.

The theme is echoed in the building restaurant and break out areas where white tables specially designed for the contract have been supplied by VERCO.

The Biochemistry Department at Oxford University is the largest in the UK and is internationally renowned for its research on the understanding of DNA, cell growth and immunity. A second phase will see the new Biochemistry building extended for another 500 researchers.
