Client
25 bespoke product types. 284 desks. One design language.
When a global financial company designed its new City of London headquarters with TP Bennett, they partnered with us. Spanning multiple floors, defined by soft curves, natural materials, and refined detail, the furniture brief demanded more than a catalogue selection. It required a manufacturing partner capable of designing, engineering, and delivering entirely bespoke solutions at scale, within an uncompromising architectural vision. DAS Business Furniture, working closely with The Furniture Practice, answered that brief in full. 284 DATUM Light-Trader positions. More than 25 distinct product types. Collaboration desks, executive desks, touchdown desks, pill-shaped meeting tables, room divider storage, lockable end-of-desk cabinetry with integrated planters. Every bespoke element designed by the DAS in-house team, manufactured in the UK and Europe, and built to hold its place within an interior where every detail was deliberate.
About the project
Design-Led Furniture, Built to Brief
The DAS in-house design team developed more than 25 distinct product types for this project, each engineered from the ground up to respond to TP Bennett's architectural vision and the client's operational requirements, and manufactured to integrate with the soft curves, natural materials, and refined detail defining the interior throughout.
DATUM Light-Trader with Fabric Privacy Screens and Capsule Power
The DATUM Light-Trader, DAS's height-adjustable workstation platform, specified here with fabric privacy screens and Capsule desktop power modules. The screens deliver visual and acoustic separation at the desk without enclosure; the Capsule modules bring power and data to the worksurface without surface clutter. Over 250 height-adjustable positions across the floor, in single and back-to-back configurations.
L-Shaped Height-Adjustable Executive Desk
A height-adjustable L-shaped executive desk with modesty panels, engineered for senior users requiring both ergonomic flexibility and defined workspace. The L-configuration extends usable desk depth while full sit-stand adjustability runs throughout.
Circular and Pill-Shaped Multi-Person Desks
Circular and pill-shaped desks for multi-person working and meeting room collaboration, forms chosen deliberately to reinforce the interior's soft curves and sense of architectural flow. Designed to TP Bennett's intent; manufactured by DAS to hold those shapes precisely, at scale, across multiple settings.
Collaboration Desks
Dedicated collaboration desks for meeting room environments, designed within the same visual language as the wider furniture package, ensuring continuity of form and finish across every setting.
Bespoke Cabinetry
Custom-made cabinets designed by the DAS in-house team for specific operational uses throughout the office: large room divider storage units, lockable end-of-desk cupboards with integrated planters, and dedicated printer storage. Each solution engineered for the room, the user, and the architectural character of its setting.
"All primary furniture items were delivered in bespoke configurations including pill-shaped desking by DAS Business Furniture. The shapes were a deliberate aesthetic decision, reinforcing the interior's flow and sense of cohesion. Across every setting, the furniture was designed to echo the architectural gestures of the building, creating a unified and distinctive workspace." TP Bennett
