Design Meets Sustainability: C+A Design Chooses Refurbished Height-Adjustable Desks

Ida Gorecka • April 8, 2025

When Design Professionals Choose Refurbished Office Furniture

When leading architectural practiceC+A Design needed to outfit their office for incoming staff, Managing Director Adam Slade faced a challenge familiar to many businesses: how to create a professional and comfortable workspace without compromising on quality or sustainability.


After spotting our premium refurbished height-adjustable desks, Adam reached out directly to explore how Coggin SOS could help their firm achieve the perfect balance of function, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility. C+A Design, known for their innovative approach to architectural solutions (visit their portfolio at https://www.cad-ltd.co.uk/), was looking for office furniture that would reflect their creative standards.


The brief was clear - create a professional workspace that would impress new starters while demonstrating the firm's commitment to sustainable practices. For a design business that helps clients create inspiring spaces every day, their own office environment needed to reflect their values and expertise.

Timely Installation: Office Ready Before Deadline

The comprehensive workspace solution our team at Coggin SOS delivered included:


  • 15 premium refurbished height-adjustable desks
  • 15 professionally refurbished pedestals for storage
  • Removal and recycling of outdated furniture at no additional cost


With new team members joining shortly, timing was absolutely critical. While new office furniture typically comes with 8-12 week lead times, our refurbished solutions were ready when C+A Design needed them. Not only did we meet the agreed installation date, we actually delivered a day ahead of schedule.


As part of our complete circular economy approach, we also removed their old office furniture for recycling at no additional cost - a service that eliminated the hassle of disposal while enhancing the project's ESG goals.
