Design Prima Winner
Audio Visual Assembly

Colebrook Bosson Saunders added to their impressive list of product awards at this year's Design Prima at London's Old Billingsgate. The show, which ran from 13th to 15th June, is the showcase UK event for new product innovation in the office interiors market. The show saw the UK launch of Colebrook Bosson Saunders' new Audio Visual Assembly, a complete system of support for large screens and AV hardware. The panel of independent judges were impressed with what they saw and gave it the FX PRIMA award. The award is recognition of design and functional quality of the Audio Visual Assembly, which has already attracted interest from major video conferencing systems suppliers. The Audio Visual Assembly was developed to meet the demanding needs of a wide spectrum of AV markets. Available in wall mounted and free standing versions, it easily supports one or two screens of up to 50" as well as all necessary content delivery hardware. The design makes it ideal for any audio visual application and customisable panels can be used to enhance the design of any interior space.

The Beginning

Martyn's first appointment

Colebrook Bosson Saunders' first significant sales was to Cable and Wireless in 1990. Martyn Colebrook was cycling along Holborn Road on his trusty, rusty, bicycle and noticed a building site. The name of the architect was on the hoarding and an appointment was made following a cold call. The delivery vehicle was the same bicycle but unfortunately it was raining on the day so a soggy box full of polystyrene protective chips did not create the best impression. Nevertheless, the architect was sympathetic, and eventually placed a £35,000 order. Colebrook Bosson Saunders haven't looked back since.

The Sunday Times

Lapjack "essential gear for back pain"

Back pain affect four out of five people and constitutes 5% of sick days, as quoted in Ingear - The Sunday Times supplement. Poor posture is one of the prime reasons for back pain, so learning to sit properly can help strengthen your back. For a majority of office workers, spending on average 35 hours per week in a seated position forces the spine into a bad C-curve. As recommended by The Sunday Times, Lapjack laptop stand can position your laptop computer screen in "the best possible way to maintain good posture" thus correcting the back to the S-shape and distributing weight along the spine.
The Big Move
Complete Union

The entire UK Colebrook Bosson Saunders team is now housed under one roof in the Union Street head office in London. Colebrook Bosson Saunders recently acquired additional space at the south bank site and the design and production department is now working from the new premises. The award-winning design team had previously occupied office and workshop space in Battersea, South West London. The move to Union Street has brought major benefits. The larger workshop and design space has enabled the expansion of the team and the purchase of new workshop equipment to aid the development of increasingly diverse and complex products. The first new product to come out of the new design space is the award-winning Audio Visual assembly and more innovations will be launched in the coming months. Anrew Wills, Colebrook Bosson Saunders Design Director, said "The move to Union Street has made a big difference to the team. The facilities here are fantastic and we're closer to the sales and marketing teams which helping us to focus on the development of products to exceed customers' expectations."
