Simple Design Works Ltd

When your client's heritage gets recognised on BBC1, you know you're working with true design pioneers.

Earlier this year, our client Race Furniture welcomed the BBC Bargain Hunt team to their Cotswolds facility for a feature on British design heritage and manufacturing excellence.

The episode airs today spotlighting the remarkable legacy of Ernest Race - from post-war innovation using recycled materials to designs that continue to set standards in British manufacturing today.

At Simple Design Works, we're privileged to work with manufacturers like Race Furniture who understand that great design isn't just about aesthetics - it's about solving real problems with innovation that lasts.

Our work with Race on the award-winning Connect seating system demonstrates this perfectly. Developed for Loughborough University, Connect transformed traditional lecture theatre design by:

✓ Creating flexible, customisable learning environments
✓ Reducing space requirements whilst improving sight lines
✓ Integrating modern technology needs (power/data ports)
✓ Earning RIBA East Midlands Building of the Year and FX International Design Awards.

Today, Connect is installed in prestigious institutions including Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and SOAS universities across the UK and Europe.

Congratulations to the Race Furniture team on their BBC feature to the continuing legacy of design excellence.
