JKR New York Offices
WE have had great fun in the last few months helping JKR to furnish their new offices in New York. From an initial brief we helped space plan the new premises to allow for 15 workstations to start with, reception area, greeting space and meeting room as well as plan in some potential expansion.

We worked closely with a dealer in the US to arrange loan furniture for the interim period to help JKR NY get up and running. After specification and...Read more

Many thanks for pointing out to us that the site was not displaying as it should on iPhones and iPads. WE have now been able to get this bug fixed so that you can now see the full site on your mobile devices. Not quite an App I know but maybe we can look at this later this year.

Following other enquiries and requests WE have also adjusted some of the categories and sub categories, in particular we have changed around the ...Read more

We will try and get...Read more

We have some great new products on the WE website as well as some new suppliers. The first manufacturer we wanted to showcase is Iduna from Portugal who manufacture two of the best shelving ranges on the market. Not only are the ranges really well designed but they are also reasonably priced and they offer complete ranges with many accessories rather than "Just shelves". 

The great advantage of this is it gives more of a one stop shop for the products for the library and it fills a...Read more

Another new supplier that we are looking forward to working with is Studio Lawrence. The "To Gather" seating and "Along These Lines" wall and partition hanging are inspirational and the flexibility of the table systems ties in fantastically on our preference for flexibility in furniture. 

Studio Lawrence's Patrick de Louwere and Bart Eijking are now living in London and you may well have seen articles about them and their products in some of the interiors magazines. Publicity so far...Read more
