Select Office Furniture were appointed to deliver a complete office design and fit out solution for a commercial vehicle dealer and service centre following a major refurbishment and extension of their premises. The objective was to modernise the working environment, improve staff comfort and ergonomics, and create a professional, cohesive interior that complemented the newly upgraded building.
The project required a carefully coordinated approach across multiple areas, including open plan offices, meeting rooms, reception spaces and executive offices. The result is a practical, well organised workspace that supports day to day operations while presenting a strong professional image to clients and visitors.
Office Design and Fit Out Approach
Working closely with the client from initial planning through to final installation, Select Office Furniture provided a fully managed office design and fit out service. The scheme focused on durability, ergonomics and consistency, using commercial grade office furniture finished in a contemporary Concrete and Anthracite palette.
This unified approach ensured a seamless transition between different areas of the building, supporting both operational efficiency and visual consistency throughout the space.
Main Office Layout and Bench Desking
The main office areas were fitted with bench desking systems combined with low level integrated storage cupboards. Finished with Concrete worktops and Anthracite bases, the layout maximises space efficiency while maintaining a clean and organised appearance.
Cable management was integrated throughout the workstations to support a clutter free working environment. Each desk was paired with high quality operator seating to support staff during long periods of daily use, an essential requirement in a fast paced operational setting.
Ergonomic Seating for Staff Wellbeing
Staff comfort and wellbeing were central to the furniture selection. Harp high back ergonomic operator chairs were installed throughout the office areas, providing a high level of adjustability and support.
Each chair features adjustable headrests, multi lever ergonomic tilt mechanisms, height and width adjustable arms, inflatable lumbar support and height adjustable backrests. This level of flexibility ensures personalised ergonomic support for a wide range of users, making the seating suitable for both administrative and technical roles.
Flexible Workstations and Cantilever Desks
Additional cantilever desks were introduced within technical and collaborative areas to support flexible working patterns. These workstations were complemented by high seating, providing durable and comfortable solutions for short duration tasks, laptop work and informal discussions.
This flexible setup supports efficient workflows while maintaining visual alignment with the wider modern office design scheme.
Conference Room and Meeting Spaces
The refurbished conference room was designed to provide a professional and welcoming setting for meetings, presentations and client visits. A large oak finish conference table was installed alongside a matching credenza unit, offering both functionality and visual balance.
Zest chrome frame cantilever chairs upholstered in premium leather were supplied to complete the space, delivering comfort while reinforcing a clean and executive aesthetic consistent with the rest of the interior.
Reception and Waiting Area
The reception and waiting areas were furnished to create a strong first impression. Contemporary seating and a coffee table finished in Concrete and Anthracite were selected to match the wider furniture palette.
This creates a durable, comfortable and visually cohesive environment for visitors and drivers arriving on site, reinforcing the professional identity of the business.
Manager’s Office
The manager’s office was fitted with a corner desk, tambour storage cupboard and a small meeting table to create a functional yet professional executive workspace. Finished in a Beech and Anthracite combination, this area introduces a slightly warmer tone while remaining consistent with the overall design scheme.
The Result
The completed project delivers a modern, practical and highly functional workspace that complements the refurbished and extended premises. Through a unified colour palette and a thoughtful mix of ergonomic seating, executive furniture and flexible workstations, the new layout supports productivity, comfort and efficient daily operations.
Select Office Furniture managed the project from initial layout planning through to delivery and installation, ensuring a smooth transformation with minimal disruption. The result is a professional working environment that reflects the client’s operational needs and long term vision, supported by high quality office furniture in Suffolk and expert design delivery.
