Armourcoat at new Brunner showroom


Armourcoat decorative plaster finishes feature within the new Brunner showroom in Clerkenwell, London.

Brunner UK Ltd, UK subsidiary of the leading German contract office furniture manufacturer, relocated from nearby Old Street to the more spacious former Victorian warehouse on Rosebery Avenue.   Designated as a ‘light industrial heritage’ building within the local council’s conservation area, the warehouse retains many of its original features including Critall iron window frames, brick façade, loading bays and wall cranes.

The Armourcoat 'KonCrete' finish has been used extensively on the first floor of the showroom.  A hand-applied plaster wall finish, 'KonCrete' offers a wealth of surface options to achieve a distinctive industrial look.  In addition a large selection of both standard and custom plaster finishes are included with Brunner’s ‘designer’s resource’ – a custom-designed feature area – to explore the full potential of Armourcoat surface finishes.


David Shirley, Managing Director of Brunner UK Ltd, commented “We’re delighted to work with Armourcoat to bring modern decorative elements to our new showroom.  Retaining traditional artisan application skills, Armourcoat plaster finishes are a great complement to our high-end products.”

The new Brunner showroom - which opens next month - is conveniently located close to Farringdon and Angel underground stations.  For further information please visit www.brunner-group.com.

Big 5 Construct India



  Armourcoat and Globecoat exhibited at The Big 5 Construct India expo in Mumbai last week. The showcase stand attracted huge numbers of interested architects and designers – together with potential partners working with the brands in India.  Armourcoat CEO Guy Whitehead commented "We exhibited at the Big 5 Construct India event this year, having worked with dmg events at Index Dubai for ten years.  The new event in Mumbai coincided with a relaunch of the Armourcoat brand in India, as we are working with our regional partner Globecoat to develop the Indian market.  This was a great opportunity to present our high-end decorative surface products to a very receptive market - the timing couldn't have been better".
  
As part of Armourcoat's global expansion programme, we are now seeking agents across India. Call Globecoat on +971 4 2858603 or email info@globecoat.ae for further information.
