Working with long-standing client National Grid, Flexiform was tasked with creating a new, flexible meeting and collaboration space at its Birmingham office. The room’s shape and existing structural pillars presented a particular challenge, requiring a tailored solution that maximised the available space while maintaining comfort, accessibility and functionality. The space needed to accommodate 18 people for extended meetings, with integrated power and VGA connectivity at every seat, while also supporting interactive presentations using monitors and screens along one wall. Flexibility was essential, as the room also needed to accommodate collaborative breakout sessions and marketing presentations.
A bespoke solution
For the formal meeting area, the client wanted to encourage collaboration and interaction, with staff facing towards a central presentation space rather than sitting in rows or separate groups. Working collaboratively, Flexiform’s engineering and space planning teams developed a bespoke table arrangement that wrapped around the existing pillars, making effective use of the available floor space while comfortably accommodating 18 people.
Following the proposal of several options, the teams adapted a standard product with specialist linking pieces to create an elongated table design that met the client’s brief and worked within the room’s constraints. Integrated power and VGA connectivity were incorporated throughout the table, with a concealed cable management system routing services discreetly from a single floor box at one end. Modesty panels completed the design, keeping cables and infrastructure hidden for a clean, considered finish.
Collaborative and flexible space
In the other half of the room, Flexiform created a flexible collaboration space centred around a freestanding Mission Room 3 screen display system, complemented by bar-height pedestal tables and stools. Designed to encourage movement, discussion and collaboration, the area supports more informal working and interactive sessions. Flip-top tables and Pype bench seating positioned around the perimeter provide additional flexibility, allowing the space to be reconfigured for teamworking and smaller meetings.
The completed space brings together bespoke furniture adaptations and flexible working zones to meet the client’s brief while overcoming the room’s structural constraints. The project demonstrates how Flexiform delivers tailored workplace solutions.
