Hibernian FC, Edinburgh

Our latest project took us to Easter Road in Edinburgh - home to Hibernian Football Club (aka Hibs). Working together again with the fantastic team at 442 Design, we delivered a large quantity of chairs and tables in record time to furnish the club's state-of-the-art hospitality lounge and Community Hub. 

We faced a tight deadline on this project, with the installation needing to be completed before the first game of the season. But we love a good challenge, so we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

Located on the second floor of the club's Famous Five Stand - named after Hibs' most celebrated forward line - the hospitality lounge Behind The Goals offers a premium sports-bar setting for supporters to enjoy matches in style and comfort. It's also used for conferences and events throughout the year, so it was important that the furniture we supplied for this refurb could be easily reconfigured to suit different layouts. 

Naturally, upholstery was selected to match the club's iconic bottle-green colour. We covered our Lisa Bar Stool in Vescom's Norfolk fabric - an eco-friendly two-tonal weave made from 100% recycled polyester.

Not only is the Lisa Stool a super-versatile design, it's also stackable, making it easy to move around and rearrange as needed. We placed the stools against tall marble-effect laminate tables with folding Ypsilon bases. 

The best seats in the house of course have spectacular pitch views. For this prime spot, we supplied the Alexa Side Chair, a smart and stylish design that's also stackable. We upholstered it in a black-coloured Camira Flax fabric - a sustainable and heavy-duty wool and flax blend - and set it alongside marble-effect laminate tables as before, in a lower height. 

One of the key requirements of the project was to make the most of the lounge space, so we included a number of round-top poseur tables to offer plenty of standing room. We alternated the bases in black and green for a stylish result. 

One level down is the Community Hub, a welcoming space for the club's charity, Hibernian Community Foundation, to hold events and support members of the local community. Our Arki Benches and Arki Tables provide plenty of informal seating space for meetings, events and other activities. 

We placed our Alexa Side Chair and folding marble-look tables here too, offering different seating options for visitors to the Hub. We love the sleek, monochrome look. 

Despite the scale of this project and tight lead times, we successfully delivered the furniture on time and coordinated a seamless installation process, with our project manager on site for the final day to make sure everything was perfect.
