History, Experience & Capabilities ...
Furniture on the Street
supplies high quality contemporary street furniture aimed at local
authorities, housing associations, landscape designers and building
contractors.
The enterprise was set up by The Invisible Man, a design business
committed to supporting youth development. This was originally for
Old Ford Housing Association in 2005. The enterprise is now based at
the Bromley By Bow Centre in east London.
We have 3 key aims:
1
The first strand, being socially driven, is the support given to the
local unemployed, particularly youth. Furniture on the Street
successfully trained 37 local young people in carpentry skills and
seen the majority of those go onto full time employment or training.
2
We work with
experienced designers to create competitive product which offers
additional benefits for the customer not only in terms of the
quality of its designs, but also the potential to customise product
or be part of a community workshops to develop specials.
Furniture on the Street has worked with local communities to achieve
some striking solutions. Furniture has also been tested by the
Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA) to the highest
contract British Standards.
3
Thirdly
is our commitment to the environment. The project utilises timber
reclaimed from London demolition sites which has clear benefit in
reducing landfill, limiting processing, transport costs, saving
trees, and thereby also reducing CO2 emissions.
