Furniture Group were responsible for the manufacture and installation of a wide range of bespoke furniture for the Library of Birmingham and Repertory Theatre
Concept drawings were produced from the architects' concepts and visuals by our in-house design team over a period of several months. We then produced detailed working drawings and material samples for each individual piece of furniture. In addition we also produced full size sample sections for architect and client approval prior to manufacture. All items were manufactured, assembled and installed on time and within budget.
