The challenge.
Create a series of dynamic, multi-function meeting and conference spaces that take the very best of WM’s legacy client suites and subtly evolve them to ensure that they offer an industry leading, client hosting experience. This emphasis on looking after their visitors every need is a trademark of Walker Morris and an expression of their commitment to how much they value their clients and partners.
The opportunity.
To work in partnership with the interior design team tasked with helping Walker Morris with their mission to create a new distinctive office space and centre of excellence. Based in Leeds this new facility is focused on providing their clients both in the UK and Internationally with partner-led, high quality, commercial advice.
The solution.
After a series of detailed consultation sessions, where we gained a full understanding of the client’s ambitions and vision for their new Centre of Excellence we got to work on a proposal working closely with the TP Bennett & Overbury design teams.
To support the interior vision and to cater for the multiple meeting scenarios we proposed Transcend Lineal flip-top tables and Cypher chairs. Calming and tactile finishes were used to wrap the tables with satin black frames, Fenix Nano-tech surfaces and stained timber edges. Contrasting leather accents for the IT access points and our Cypher chairs were then styled to coordinate with Hides by Yarwood Leather.
The individual meeting spaces were fitted out using a combination of our Vantage tables with solid timber legs, offering a softer, warmer aesthetic. In all cases the table tops were styled to have subtle curves and neutral finishes that altogether serve to create an elegant meeting environment where the emphasis is focused on clients and visitors and delivering on their needs.
The feedback.
The reaction to the new space has been exactly as we had hoped. Feedback has confirmed that Walker Morris’s ambitions to raise the bar when it comes to catering for their clients has been fully realised and we’re extremely pleased we could be a part of helping them to connect people together and realise success!
