Luke Hughes & Company have just completed the loose furniture for 15 client meeting and dining rooms, a boardroom and flexible presentation rooms for Henderson Global Investors, as collaborators in a scheme by leading interior and workplace interior consultants, Pringle Brandon. The result is a 125,000 sq ft carbon-neutral office for up to 900 people - and includes 6 fish-tanks in the break-out spaces. The scheme was winner of the Fit Out of Workplace (London) category at BCO Awards. The project saw the first use of the new MOKI cable-managed table leg system, developed by Luke Hughes and Company in collaboration with Tomoko Azumi. One of the great advantage of the design is the considered use of folded steel-sheet, based on Japanese origami principles - a cost-effective production technique that minimises welds and polishing and therefore greatly reduces energy costs in manufacture. The cable management up the legs is simple and easy to use. Luke Hughes & Company are committed to much more of this kind of ‘clever thinking’, appropriate to the ecological challenges of the age.
