The Ferco team regularly get excited about their latest
projects, but occasionally an installation really captures the imagination.
Introducing the Gymshark Lifting Club.
Since its launch in 2012, fitness wear and apparel supplier
Gymshark is currently the UK's fastest growing company having served more than
1.2 million customers in 177 countries worldwide and processed over 2.3 million
orders to date.
Gymshark appointed Stafford-based workplace design
specialists Oktra to create the 55,000sq ft space, which includes a 20,000sq ft
health club, a studio space for the new Gymshark fitness app, a auditorium, a
R&D factory and several high tech photographic studios.
Headquartered in Solihull, the new Lifting Club is just
across the road from the newly renovated, award-winning Oktra designed GSHQ
office space.
Oktra approached Ferco to provide seating for the 100-person auditorium at the centre of the Lifting Club.
They commented “Gymshark wanted a building that would
accommodate their rapid growth and also be an attraction for new employees and
business. Oktra’s design team collaborated with Gymshark and began a mission to
open one of the best offices in the world.”
Ferco designed, manufactured and installed FT10 seats, which
are designed to be multi-use and have a built-in Wrimatic writing tablet.
Upholstered in black faux leather, the seats matched the proposed aesthetic,
which follows through the whole building.
Director, Jane Shepherd said “The whole office has watched
this project reach its completion. We are as passionate about delivering top
quality seating as Gymshark is about realising their vision and were pleased to
be a part of another local project”
The FT10 Wrimatic is a luxurious, executive style seat
suitable for corporate auditoriums and educational settings. The integrated A3
Wrimatic tablet is the most robust tablet on the market.
It stows neatly when not in use and operates in one
continuous opening movement thanks to its unique triangular joint; a feature
designed using advanced aeronautical and engineering technology.
The seat and tablets sleek aesthetic and customisable finish provided Oktra and Gymshark with an auditorium seating design that complements their vision for the whole Lifting Club.
