René Olivier's Tyre Furniture Collection at Design Junction

KI sponsored the Mixology 2012 Student Furniture Designer of the Year; an award open to any person enrolled on a recognised furniture design course in the UK. This year’s award went to René Olivier for her innovative Tyre Furniture Collection.

Using discarded bus, car and lorry tyres and a clever detachable frame, users can rework worthless material back into a mutually interesting, comfortable and sustainable design; showing how our commodities can be put to a ‘circular’ use. The metal frame is a stainless steel tube bent in a semi-circle, which enables the tyre seat to rock comfortably from side to side. The tube is also designed with a hinge to allow the metal frame to fold away for ease of movement and storage. 

Jonathan Hindle, Group Managing Director of KI EMEA and member of the judging panel praised the work, suggesting:

“She deserves this award for showing social responsibility at its very best and demonstrating how furniture, if thought about in a very broad global context, can, literally make a difference to the lives of people whose furniture is quite literally, often staring them in the face.”

René describes her work as “not about me but my desire to initiate a change that makes a difference to peoples’ lives.”

Be sure to check out the collection alongside KI's new ranges at next week's Design Junction and London Design Festival.

The Opt4 Seating Range

KI’s new Opt4 responds to the changing needs for Userbility. We see it as the new 'Easy Chair' for the workspace: easy-to-carry, easy-to-stack and easy-to-move. With the mesh weighing in at 7.3 pounds - it's the lightest high-density stack chair available.
 
We developed the Opt4 range with both designer and sitter in mind - blending polypropylene and mesh seating and back options  for optimum style and comfort.

Be sure to check out the collection at the upcoming Design Junction and London Design Festival.

The UniteSE Collection

KI’s new Unite^SE portfolio is a comprehensive workplace collection which combines a simple clean design with a well engineered, highly robust and flexible construction. 

The understructure of the Unite^SE workstation range provides a sturdy modular platform for the addition of multiple worksurface and screen options. These can either be from its standard line or as an exercise in tailored design.

The combined collection offers integrated ranges of benching, freestanding desks, cellular office, workwall, meeting tables and storage. Everything is manufactured in the UK with the benefit of rapid lead times, fit for purpose design and excellent value.

The new workstation platform when combined with KI’s long established specialist expertise in the design and local manufacture of storage and the breadth of line provided by its many seating ranges, provides an opportunity to work with its customers to tailor flexible furnishing solutions which enable staff to communicate and collaborate more freely.

Copies of the new brochure are available to download from the KI Europe website; renders and showroom photos of the Unite^SE programme in action can be seen on our Facebook page.
