Ernst & Young LLP is an accountants’ in Manchester and have been upgrading their offices with the help of Showcase Interiors. The building has a large terrace area that overlooks Manchester. EY wanted to increase the usability of the terrace by adding outdoor furniture to encourage employees to take a break out of doors and improve social interactions.

The Parallel 42 Benches were chosen by Showcase Interiors due to their flexibility and contemporary look which would complement the terrace space and provide ample seating. The Parallel 42 bench is a stylish modular timber bench that can be arranged to suit any social space. The Benches were installed free standing for ease of positioning and can be rearranged.

Showcase Interiors required the products on site within a tight timeframe. Artform Urban Furniture were responsive to the projects demands and ensured the client was well informed on the progress of the order. As a result the entire project ran smoothly from the manufacture of the benches to shipping to the roof site.

Artform’s production team built and installed the Parallel 42 benches to meet the specification of the client’s needs.

Outcome

Ernst & Young now have a usable terrace area that is enjoyed by many of the company’s employees during breaks. The seating has been such a success that the client has asked Artform for further input on future projects including the supply and installation of the Harris Benches.
