Imperial College Executive Training Suite

KI has delivered and installed furniture into an Executive Education Suite for Imperial College Business School within just two weeks of receiving the brief.

The Business School required a high quality furniture solution, appropriate for a seminar room predominantly used to deliver Executive Education to corporate clients. It was essential that the furniture was flexible enough to be moved around effortlessly.

Afrey Edes, Faculty Services Manager at Imperial College commented:

“I was impressed with the high standard of service and depth of advice when selecting furniture for a new seminar room and several break out rooms here at Imperial College Business School. The installation went very smoothly, everything arrived on time and the staff were friendly and helpful. The furniture is great quality, very comfortable for users and easy to fold and store, overall a big success.”

Although design is important it was also imperative that the furniture was comfortable as well as aesthetically pleasing. KI provided K5 chairs with cantilevered, sled bases and the Perry articulating stacking chair, a seating classic, designed by Charles Perry, all upholstered in leather.

The K5 chairs can be easily stacked and stored away. The arms are not fixed to the shell, and this extra movement means greater comfort. A continuous seat and back unit comes upholstered in dark leather and chrome finish. The Perrychair is stylish and elegant with a uniqueback movement. The seat, upholstered in leather, is suspended from the back by solid steel rods, which enables the user’s bodyweight to counterbalance the back flex to provide just the right degree of support and comfort when seated for long periods.

KI also provided the Kite table system, a unique patented design which can be quickly and easily configured in to a range of ideal meeting or training combinations without loss of individual space. Kite tables, with flip tops & an intelligent nesting leg design can be moved safely and easily by one person and stored efficiently in a small space.

The tables fold as one unit in a 30cm width and have unique three point contact lockable castors that feature an easy to use levelling facility. No tools are required so changing the layout is instant. Levelling is achieved by simply turning the two spindles directly above the castor.
