Craftsmanship at its Finest : Barker Street Office Furniture
The previous pages highlight the DALRRD architectural creation - a merging of culture and design .
Working together with the creative Paragon Group design team , Barker Street Office Furniture ’ s manufacturing capability ensured that over 2,200 open plan workstations and managerial desks , more than 280 boardroom and meeting tables , and 2,800 storage cabinets were installed , together with about 4,750 chairs . All on time and according to the required installation schedule .
This project falls under the Public- Private Partnerships banner - and of the 6 PPP ’ s in the head office category , Barker Street has been appointed for 3 of them - DTI , Stats SA and now DALRRD
Among the installation highlights is the opulent Walnut Veneer Boardroom and meeting tables . These tables , meticulously crafted , exemplify the excellence of both Barker Street and Paragon Design .
What sets them apart is not just their exquisite design , but the seamless integration of different structural elements . Some feature robust Angled Steel frames , projecting strength and
contemporary flair , while others boast timeless Cast Aluminium legs , radiating enduring beauty .
This adaptability underscores Barker Street ’ s commitment to tailoring each piece to the unique vision and needs of the client , resulting in a space where form and function coalesce seamlessly .
The furniture in DALRRD ’ s offices is a testament to Barker Street ’ s dedication to authenticity and detail , prioritizing ergonomic comfort , blending the modern with the traditional .
It ’ s worth noting that all the desking tables and storage were manufactured using environmentally friendly E1 grade particle board - pine particles from sustainably managed forests , and conforming to globally recognised acceptable formaldehyde emissions .
All products - board , steel understructure and fabrics are recyclable . This typifies Barker Street ’ s commitment to the environment and aligns with DALRRD ’ s sustainability goals .
Community empowerment is another cornerstone . Barker Street Office Furniture engaged local labour for furniture installation , a testament to their commitment to uplift the community .
Barker Street Office Furniture , together with the A & D community , have successfully installed a wide variety of similar sized projects over the last four decades , having acquired a wealth of experience in managing projects of this scope across the corporate , banking , retail and hospitality sectors - both locally and cross-border . www . barkerstreet . co . za
