KI provides tailored storage solution for RJW

KI has provided a tailored storage solution for Russell Jones and Walker (RJW), a national firm of solicitors.

RJW, which has 10 offices in the UK, has brought two of its London offices into its own building on Chancery Lane in the centre of the legal area of the City of London, creating space for 200 personnel.

Visitors are now directed straight to the reception on fifth floor, which is the client interaction floor, with views of Chancery Lane and the London Eye.

The company's largest issue was storage, so this was tackled early on in the project by FFS, which carried out an in-depth storage audit.

It ascertained that RJW required 2km of filing storage.

RJW had a tour of the KI showroom and was able to carry out trials on all the storage and furniture.

KI provided integrated 800 Series metric lateral storage units, bespoke personal storage and 400 Series tall CPD units.

These storage systems are all modular, have improved features and functions and are manufactured in the UK.

KI 800 Series 4 drawer units are used to divide the departments.

The personnel used to have 1,800mm desks with a tall boy; however, there was not enough space for all their files.

With KI's new solution, they have fitted all the files into 3.2 linear metres and have kept the sight lines low.

KI designed a 75mm slim drawer in the top drawer of the flipper door unit, which takes all the smaller items omitting the requirement of personal pedestals yet still leaves space for arch lever files and wallets in the units.

The seminar and training rooms all feature KI Perry chairs around the tables.

This seating, designed by sculptor Charles Perry, is described as stylish and elegant with an articulated back movement.
