A blend of furniture solutions
Thedesignconcept ltd. introduced many furniture solutions to the University Library. Over 9 floors a vast number of study booths and pods were installed, suitable for individual, small and large group study sessions. Colourful soft seating encourages students to make themselves comfortable and creates a relaxing atmosphere.
Booths can be seen in various colour ranges through the library. Arm chairs with high backs, reduces sound from surrounding areas and are integrated with work surfaces and pluto power stations have been added that allow students to plug-in laptops and also have twin USB ports. Five person circular table/desk capable of accommodating computer screens with power-up and down option to provide screen-less, flat table surface when required, keyboard and mouse housing and integral cable tray is also included. Working with the University’s existing shelving system, the study booths give the space a modern feel and injects an array of colours to the entire space.
Classic side chairs with chrome base are used in the café at the reception of the Luton Campus Library in a range of colours to suit the library interior. Sled based chairs are used throughout the library and a rocking version provides students with dual seating positions for maximum comfort and support. Stackable chairs with upholstered seat pads can be stored easily to create space when required.
