A trip to the hair salon launches 3Sphere’s fundraising

As part of 3Sphere’s fundraising initiative in support of Cancer Research UK, three members of staff agreed to have their heads shaved!

Matthew Ellis, Mike Norman and Mark Bradburn visited One Four One Hair in Cirencester where their locks were shorn by Lorraine who kindly donated her time for free in the spirit of the cause.

Despite being a high-end women’s salon, proprietor Mike Smits agreed to get involved given that the inspiration for 3Sphere’s campaign is Sarah Burkill’s recent diagnosis.

Sarah (pictured below front) is a prominent member of the 3Sphere team and a popular figure in the office design sector.

All those involved with 3Sphere offer their total support to Sarah and our warmest thanks to the guys at One Four One Hair.

Amtico kindly sponsored the vibrant polo shirts and were represented by Helen Tullet (pictured below) who formed a team with 3Sphere’s Andrew Ford.

In between lashings of Pimms and an English cream tea to die for, the cut and thrust of the competition took hold with many keenly-fought matches.

However, the pairing of Dominic White from Workham (below left) and Paul Williams from Savills (below right) finally emerged victorious and will hold the trophy for a year.

With perfect weather and Babington House looking an absolute picture, everyone had a fabulous day in the heart of the Somerset countryside.

3sphere’s visit to the Vitra Haus in Germany

Amazing brands do amazing things and Vitra have excelled themselves with the creation of the VitraHaus located on Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany.

Vitra commissioned Basel-based architects Herzog & de Meuron to design the stunning structure in 2006 and it is now one of the company’s focal points.

3Sphere’s Brian Winward and Matthew Ellis (both pictured below) visited the building in July and were blown away by the sheer scale of the project. Futuristic from the outside, 12 separate internal spaces have been designed in the style of familiar domestic settings to showcase Vitra’s extensive furniture collections.

The project has already captivated the design-orientated media who have been inspired by the visionary concept that combines both architectural and interior design brilliance.

As the residential market continues to take influence from corporate office design themes, both Vitra and 3Sphere are perfectly positioned to benefit from our growing awareness of high-end furniture designers and brands.
