Rigg supplies products to many types of projects in a wide variety of locations. Our delivery and installation team travel the length and breadth of the UK. However a core operating area for the company is London and the south east.
A few of the many, many business fit-outs that we have supplied include Vice, Ovo Energy and Dentsu. We also supply lots of items to the creative industries including design studio offices, digital marketing, architects, fashion brands, TV and video production companies.
Typical projects include tables of different sizes and materials, reception desks, shelving and seating.
We have found that in the UK capital a popular item is Modela, which has thick metal legs. Often this is fitted with a solid oak top but birch plywood is also sometimes specified. Being available in high a low versions this model finds application in a variety of roles. Other models and accessories are applied to achieve certain outcomes. For example the fitment of castors helps to create a flexible environment and cable management helps with the provision of power and data.
A co-working style is often applied internally as businesses adapt to new ways of operating. This can include a mixture of furniture to serve different purposes. Workplace breakout zones are popular where there might be a high bar for sitting or standing. As mentioned above solid wood tops remain popular. However, man-made materials can be incorporated for variety, economy or simply lower maintenance.
Workspaces need storage and Rigg has delivered many large and small shelving units. Bespoke and off-the-shelf designs are available - made from metal and timber or single material.
Canteens are a must in large city offices and for this area bistro tables are convenient for staff. Linoleum, HPL and recycled surfaces have been specified. Beyond dining, a work caffetteria is also a social space where workers can relax and chat. Modern offices don't underestimate the benefits of this and some effort is put into ensuring a good layout and interior design. Whilst conferences are left to dedicated rooms, cafes can be useful for collaboration meetings. This idea could obviously apply to places besides London. Depending upon the brief, custom features are made such as a zinc topped bar, fabricated recently at the Rigg factory.
Corporate HQ buildings and even smaller operations almost always have some version of a reception desk. As a place to meet and greet visitors, this piece usually benefits from an interesting shape and decor such as the rusty metal style example Rigg has manufactured.
