Introduction
By carefully assessing, recovering and reusing suitable pieces, the project helped reduce unnecessary waste while retaining the quality, character and functionality expected of a contemporary workplace.
The Circular Hub played a key role in adapting this furniture to the new workplace: 844 existing duo workspaces were reconfigured, with tabletops converted from 1600 × 800mm to bespoke 1400 × 800mm and 1350 × 800mm formats, while new upholstered screens helped integrate the refurbished workstations into the architects’ interior design.

The result was a more considered refurbishment that balanced design and practicality with responsible material choices — demonstrating how circular thinking can be integrated into a major workplace project without compromising on the finished environment.
Alongside this, 2,350 specially designed acoustic screens were produced to meet the project’s circularity requirements.
The result is a striking example of how existing workplace assets can be intelligently adapted rather than discarded — extending their useful life while reducing the carbon impact associated with replacing them with new furniture.
