New Restaurant Seating for Mercedes AMG HPP

Posted on | by Aerofoil - Furniture Solutions

Aerofoil Design are proud to have recently completed the supply, delivery and installation of more than 180 new cafe-style chairs for our long-time customer, Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains (MAHPP).

The “Pitstop Restaurant” is a heavily-used restaurant for hundreds of their staff and management, and is also used for external visitors.

MAHPP decided to replace their existing restaurant chairs, having been in place for more than 15 years. The new restaurant chairs supplied by Aerofoil, were a more cost-effective option than buying the existing chair model again, which made great financial sense, especially as they are supplied with a five-year guarantee.

These Cafe chairs feature a black laminated beech plywood shell with chrome legs and soft felt pads on the feet, and are both strong and stylish.

In fact, the customer struck a deal with the original supplier to take back their existing chairs for repair and refurbishment,  and for the supplier to then supply them to local schools. A great initiative and good environmental story.

New Office Project in Brighton (130)

Posted on | by Aerofoil - Furniture Solutions

Today we will take a look at one of the largest installations we’ve completed in recent years, undertaken in a few phases. Starting with the first floor in October 2019, continuing with the second floor early 2020 and finally reconfiguring some of the existing furniture on the third floor, as lockdown restrictions were eased and it was safe for our team to do so.

The design for this project evolved from an initial brief from the customer’s American architects and designers, based on plans from their other international offices. We interpreted this and presented several different product options. AJ took samples of the short-listed furniture to the site to showcase possible solutions for the customer and their architects to select from.

Assmann bench desks were chosen, which are electrically height adjustable, allowing the staff to alternate between sitting and standing to work. There were nearly 300 workstations installed, along with metal mobile pedestal drawer units fitted with bespoke seat cushions for those occasional visitors. The customer also evaluated 4 different office chairs before deciding on Wagner ergonomic seating. The vibrant colours for this project were based on the company’s corporate colours.

As well as furnishing the offices, the staff break-out room was also completed to the same high standard with a combination of dark grey café tables and metallic seating making the environment fresh and light, perfect for the staff to take time away from their desks.

The highlight of this job has to be the bespoke reception desk. We were sent an image of a similar desk from an overseas office, which the customer wanted to replicate here. Working with our specialist suppliers, we were able to provide this amazing, stylish reception desk, with a solid wood ‘surfboard’ counter top, created from multiple sections of different timbers. The users side features a height adjustable section and the reception front was completed with a wave design vinyl wrap to the architect’s design. A really spectacular image for visitors to be welcomed by when entering their building.
