Collaboration works most efficiently when it’s informal. Visual aids can help you make quick decisions on the fly, without taking team members off-task and into meetings. But ugly whiteboards detract from your elegant working environment. These glass fascias blend into the background when not in use and have that ‘CSI-feel’ that people love using.

Screen Support View
Getting the height right – for screens and monitors – is vital for avoiding eye and neck strain. So often, solutions to raise screens to eye level are as ugly as a pile of encyclopaedias under the pedestal. These adjustable support arms clamp to the desk and won’t detract from your sleek office vibe.

Our business is all about its people and we are proud to have a fantastic team that share our values and passion for creating inspiring places to work.
Lee Day Design Director; unbelievably I’ve been involved in this industry for close to twenty years and in that time I’ve worked on some fantastic projects, experienced just about every challenge imaginable to do with the ‘modern’ workplace and been fortunate to work with some great clients. What keeps me motivated is the talent around me and the challenges of what the next project will throw my way.

Jon Odey Lee’s a bit older than me but I’ve also been in the industry for nearly 20 years! I started out ‘on the tools’ and it gave me a great insight into the world of furniture. Since then I have worked on both ‘sides of the fence’ having cut my teeth on the manufacturing side and coming through the ranks to be Sales Director at a large UK manufacturer. The decision to switch to help create Sketch nearly nine years ago was easy to make though - it was and still is an opportunity to really make a difference in the industry. We have now delivered over £78m of workplace solutions for customers - partnering blue chip multi-nationals, government bodies and start-up businesses along the way.
