Le Corbusier

Born as Charles Edouard Jeanneret-Gris on October 6th 1187 in Switzerland. Le Corbusier became a pioneer the in high end design for many crowded metropolitan
cities at the turn of the century.

His work eventually took him to Berlin were he met Ludwig Mies van der Roche and other esteemed designers. He adopted the pseudonym Le Cobusier in 1920 whilst working in Paris, it is thought to mean “the crow like one” After working on houses for Renault and many wealthy private clients he eventually became a French citizen in 1930.
Le Corbusier worked on grand schemes for Metropolitan cities inspired by the French slums he produced the famous Unite d’Habitation in Marseilles as well as Chandigarh the capital city of the Punjab in India

Debenhams Case Study

Case Study

Debenhams Call Centre project 2004

A few years ago one of our first projects was the supply of new call centre desks and associated office furniture to the head office of Debenhams plc in Taunton

B4 Double wave desks in Maple from Morris office furniture, Oise chairs from Office Chairman, Lockers from Bisley, Soft Seating from Incatext and Orangebox

 

Andy Clements Facilities Manager

 

“Office Reality carried out a major piece of work for Debenhams Retail PLC. This involved the provision of almost 100 workstations including the relocation of existing furniture

 

The installation had to happen within strictly defined timescales so as to minimise so as to minimise the impact to the business function concerned. The program was complicated, not only by the fact that the new furniture had to match the existing desks but also the whole move had to be co-ordinated with provision of date cables and power.

 

 Throughout Paul Seddon worked tirelessly to ensure that his team completed the job to his high standards and any issues communicated effectively and thus quickly overcome.

 

Aftercare was equally as effective but any snagging issues were minor

 

Having had this good, painless and cost effective experience I have no hesitation in recommending Office Reality as a company and supplier.”

Clearance

Clearance

 

We started this section whilst in Poland with one of our suppliers. In order to make way for new office and reception chairs they needed to move products out of their UK warehouse. So critical had the timing become that they considered moving these brand new office chairs to landfill.

 

After agreeing very keen prices we truly didn’t look for an immediate financial return in the belief that value prices for brand new products combined with free delivery would carry the day and increase the popularity and traffic to our web site. That it did, we cleaned out this supply in a matter or weeks and have now been on a continuous two year search for additional office furniture and office seating products at clearance prices. Office chairs still dominate this line with fabric and leather options always available. However keep looking and you will find good quality desks, glass desks, office sofas and tub chairs all at giveaway prices.

 

You will find all over the web claims of special offers and clearance items but you will not find better value or a greater change in what we offer.

 

The clearance section has become the most popular section of our website both with new and returning visitors and sends a message that throughout our web sites you always find good value and choice.
