Piana Alessichair by David Chipperfield

Piana is a simple, iconic, general-purpose folding chair, designed by David Chipperfield. The design aimed to produce a well-made chair in a material which expresses its utilitarian and transient nature. The matt finish and tactile qualities of the chair render it both comfortable and robust.

Copies of the new brochure are available to download from the KI Europe website, and more photos can be seen on our Facebook page.

KI provides classroom furniture for Chelsea Academy

KI have provided classroom furniture for the new Chelsea Academy in Lots
Road, London, working with FF&E Consultants Alligan and furniture suppliers
Portsdown Education. This new Academy is sponsored by the London Diocesan
Board for Schools (LDBS) in association with The Royal Borough of Kensington
and Chelsea. It will provide world-class education for approximately 800
pupils in years 7 to 11 and 250 students in the sixth form.

The Academy building, designed by architectural practice Fielden Clegg
Bradley Studios, ranges between two and four floors built in linking blocks
with atrium and open spaces providing good circulation space and internal
light, which are key on this tight site. The furniture for the new building
similarly needed to be appropriate for the aspirational setting but robust
and fit for purpose and the Academy employed both the help of the students
and teachers in the selection of the classroom furniture. Read more>>>
