Harrow Green: 285 Task Chairs Refurbished for a Bank

Harrow Green is the workplace partner to one of the UK's leading financial institutions. During a large office refresh in 2024 it chose refurbishment over replacement for 285 premium task chairs. Coggin SOS returned every chair to as-new condition.

The situation

What Harrow Green needed

The client was refreshing a large office and wanted its furniture to contribute to its ESG goals. Its 285 Steelcase Reply chairs were structurally sound but worn, and the brief was no compromise on quality.

Harrow Green brought the project to us because refurbishment had to match new in one of the most demanding corporate settings there is.

What we did

How the project ran

  1. Chairs moved in batches between the client site and our facility, using Harrow Green's logistics so the office kept working.
  2. Each chair was stripped and reupholstered, with premium fabrics and finishes restored to specification.
  3. Every batch was checked and function tested before it went back.
  4. The batch system kept the programme moving without a gap on the floor.
The result

What it came to

Refurbished matched new in a setting where anything less would have been noticed, and the client kept 285 chairs it already owned.
