The way we work is drastically changing. Gone are the days of sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day – the modern workplace is embracing an ‘agile’ approach to work. A culture of a shared workspace has evolved with a thirst for communication and collaboration. So, whether you want to have a quick chat with a colleague, a working session with the whole team

or just need somewhere to work on a project of your own, it’s vital that your space can adapt to your needs. Activity based working is not a one-size-fits-all approach, Verco is able to develop products using our experience and expertise to enable and encourage the best possible work across a variety of tasks.

Martin_Making the Workplace a better place to be

4 5

Martin was born from the current thinking

around the modern, connected workplace

and was designed to be a responsive,

comprehensive family of work tables. While

effortlessly complimenting a variety of

aesthetics, work styles and environments,

Martin improves effectiveness, efficiency

and productivity.

The beautifully simple but extensive Martin

range offers a solution to any collaborative

working requirement. From work tables

with an economic foot print, to boardroom

tables that exude modern sophistication,

quality and style. The Martin collection will

bring your workplace to life.

Martin’s ways of working_

Brian and Sarah have an

important meeting later this

morning. David joins them to

share his ideas.

Brian (Cappuccino) grabs a

seat and checks his emails.

Sarah (two rounds of toast)

joins him for a catch up

before her meeting.

The rest of the team join Brian,

Sarah and John for their 11:30.

Martin’s complementary stools

and benches accommodate

them perfectly.

Sarah (homemade salad),

Becky (soup), John (pizza –

he’s hungover, don’t judge

him) and Liz (leftovers, looks

like spag bol) join Martin for

an important lunch meeting.

The team are on a roll and

continue their meeting

through lunch. Brian

volunteers to do the

sandwich run.

Sophie pops by to ask Brian

for the report he promised her

by the end of the day. He nods

with his best poker face.

Meeting with the ExecsBit late. Blame it on the

lift. Sit at the end of a

large Martin meeting table

wondering if the handshakes

went well or not.

Brian hops over to the

opposite side of Martin to

write a report in record time.

Martin Work TablesOffering a softer, more comfortable office

environment, the Martin Work Tables

maximises capacity requirements with a

reduced footprint and a lighter form of cable

management system to accommodate

growing and changing teams.

Structurally lean, Martin can easily span

the longest lengths with minimal support,

providing a clean, finished look. And, thanks to

the simplicity of installation, Martin effortlessly

adapts to the ever-changing landscape of

the modern office to enable and encourage

the exchange of ideas, information flow and

the concept of team working.

The beauty of Martin is the opportunity it

presents for effortless collaboration and

communication while also offering the

flexibility to accommodate the need for

quieter, individual working.

A solid wood chamfered edge subtly defines

individual space and central cable access

covers allow for technology to be quickly

fed through the furniture with ease, allowing

instant access.

Martin Meeting Tables_

Martin’s more formal meeting tables are

available as circular or barrel shaped,

allowing you to suite the furniture

throughout an entire workplace.

Larger tables lend themselves naturally

to boardroom environments while smaller,

more intimate options are available to

create the perfect breakout space.

Verco _ Martin

Martin Tables use solid timber legs in

combination with the warmth of real wood

veneers, the modernity of laminates and the

strength and durability of steel to create a

sophisticated and subtle fusion to help define

a corporate personality and character.

MartinSimple clarity, beautifully realised_

Martin’s clean and elegantly simple design

reflects our intention; to help people work

together, collaborate, share and increase

productivity with total ease.

Although the option of screens and

technology have been considered, and

are available, the main focus has been the

collaborative experience people expect from

Martin. Reduced depth provides a smaller

footprint, bringing people closer together. As

modern technology has developed it has far

fewer demands on furniture, perhaps just the

occasional top up of power.
