Our Design Partners

Simon Pengelly

Pengelly Design, a London-based studio specialising in furniture and product design, was founded by British designer Simon Pengelly in 1993.

Pengelly’s formative training at the bench provides a background of pragmatism that underscores the intelligent solutions that come from his materials and process led approach to problem solving, resulting in products of lightness, understated simplicity and trademark timeless appeal.

“Quietness, possibly above all else, is a quality the best products possess in that they don’t follow trend, rather they possess a character born of thoughtful regard to function, materiality, environment, intuitiveness and familiarity, without the need to shout. There are few things more exciting and interesting to us than being able to make our mark with quiet design”.

Studio Verco

The design philosophy of VERCO Office Furniture is not solely based on producing new furniture and seating.  Rather it is focused on emphasising the importance of these products on the wellbeing of everyone within the workplace, to boost an organisation’s ability to innovate and thrive and to create interesting, inspiring and exciting workplaces of the future.

This combination of in-house design and engineering talent, together with the imported design thinking of our external design partners has given our entire portfolio a level of design and aesthetic finesse, and an engineering and ergonomic lineage that is second to none.
