University of Salford - Furniture Expo
October 30, 2025
We were delighted when the University of Salford invited us to deliver an innovative Furniture Pilot Scheme for their Clifford Whitworth Library. The Furniture Expo aimed to showcase a standout selection of inclusive and sustainable furniture for students to engage with, experience, and trial first-hand.
The objective was to identify students’ preferred products and the reasons behind their choices, supporting todays dynamic ways of working. To gather insights, we introduced a questionnaire-based research strategy and offered a competition to encourage participation, amplified through social media.
A total of 29 innovative products were showcased as part of the research initiative, the Furniture Expo was brought to life through the support of our incredible supply partners:
- Agile Acoustics
- Deadgood
- Frovi
- JDD
- HAG
- Naughtone
- Orangebox
- Office Electrics
- The Senator Group
The display highlighted our expertise and demonstrated new ways of working through thoughtful workplace design. The research project generated valuable insights into today’s evolving work practices, with an emphasis on sustainable and inclusive design.
