SIMPLY STYLISH FURNITURE INSTALLATION FOR SMITH & WILLIAMSON
Smith & Williamson, the leading financial advisory services group, presented LHCL with a design brief and a desire for an understated, timeless and traditional range of boardroom and dining furniture for their offices in the City of London.
Working with the architects MCM, the solution for the dining furniture was found in LHCL's Curzon tables; circular, rectangular and barrel-shaped tops in weathered sycamore, with a solid 45mm square edge on highly polished stainless steel bases.
The beauty of these simple, stylish tables is that they can be demounted and stored easily giving maximum flexibility. One of the dining tables can be extended for larger corporate lunches. Matching credenzas were also finished in weathered sycamore with glass tops.
The Boardroom table was designed to be demountable so that the room could be cleared and used for other functions. LHCL's Folio armchair, a classic oak chair, was finished in leather to match the boardroom table top.
St Swithin chairs, upholstered in brown leather, completed the elgant look for the dining area.
An A/V table was designed to take audiovisual and IT equipment for presentations to large numbers of clients. Smith & Williamson say they have used this room far more than they envisaged.
