The new showroom is part of the Teknion Global WELL Portfolio – selected and designed to reflect the principles and features of WELL accreditation – and has adapted a biophilic profile for the overall design style. Natural light beams through the Grade II listed building’s original cast iron windows and reflects off the organic, neutral-coloured walls to completely illuminate the interior. Pops of colour add vibrancy to the showroom’s raw architectural elements, including original bare brick walls and reclaimed timber floors.
The space promotes WELL Health & Wellbeing standards via seminars, community activities, design forums, and networking events. On display, Teknion’s latest products, current workplace trends, and thoughtful furniture predictions illustrate the strategic steps taken to further enrich the brand’s social, environmental, and economic impact. Pieces featured throughout – emphasizing Teknion’s values and goals – include, but are not limited to: new Routes collection, Banqs, Zones – designed by Pearson Lloyd. As well as Tek Booth, Expansion case goods, Teknion Walls (glazed partitioning), hiSpace workstations, and various signature pieces from the Studio TK collection.
The space also showcases (for the first time in the UK) Teknion’s global fabric brand “LUUM Textiles”, via a fully merchandised standalone concession.
The showroom general contractor was DOI Group Ltd. Teknion’s North American design team worked collaboratively with a local design firm to develop the showroom’s concept, ensuring it embraced both local culture and architecture.
