Thorns creates a ‘Vision’ at the Grand Designs exhibition

23 Jul 2007

Thorns Group’s funky, eye-catching ‘Vision’ furniture range has helped to bring a Wow factor to the Grand Designs Live exhibition at London’s ExCeL.

Claret and a creamy dune were the two colour ways that brought a stylish look to the whole award-winning event.
 
After two successful years providing feature work, this was the first time Thorns was appointed as the main official supplier to the show, which was launched as a spin-off from the popular Channel Four programme, Grand Designs.
 
Thorns, which is one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers to the events, exhibitions and conference sectors, was contracted to provide a wide range of eye-catching furniture to the VIP area, organisers’ offices and press room and was official supplier to all the hundreds of exhibitors.
 
The company’s new stylish, funky office range of desks, chairs and lockable cupboards also proved a real winner with the organisers who were supplied with offices all decked out in the complementary claret and dune colour theme.
 
Adam Aston, Thorns’ Head of Exhibitions, said: “It was great to be involved in such a design-led show.”
 
Marisa Beckman, freelance operations manager for the organisers, Media10, was delighted with the service she received from Thorns Group.
 
She said: “The staff were a pleasure to work with and gave us a fantastic service. They were professional and helpful. The furniture ranges they provided were good quality and fitted in well with the needs of our design-orientated exhibitors.  What I wanted arrived when I wanted – you can’t say fairer than that.”
 
Thorns Group is already planning a reprise of the successful event. The company also has the contract to be official supplier to the Grand Design Live exhibition at Birmingham’s NEC on October 5-7.
