Rhubarb Seating Lookbook 2022

Seating made Great in Britain

WELCOME TO RHUBARB

Rhubarb designs and manufactures seating for every non-domestic environment.

Our approach is founded on core principles which have the needs and interests of our customers at their heart:

Delivering what your project needs: we manufacture every product ourselves, NO element is sub-contracted, and all our soft seating is designed in-house. That means that if our standard products are not quite what is needed, we will create something from scratch or change the dimensions to fit, whether that is a single unit or several hundreds.

Flexibility:

• Lead times – if you really need it in a hurry we can usually help

• Delivery schedules – we know projects do not always go to plan so we will be here to work with you to flex arrangements

• Support – whatever you need we will do our utmost to accommodate it, from product modification to warehousing for stock that can’t be delivered to site

• Advice – on fabrics, foams, product construction to make sure you and your clients get the best solutions

Space planning: we are able to provide full space planning services where they will add value

Sustainability and social responsibility: we are proactively pursuing an agenda to net zero and are working in partnership with a social enterprise that provides employment and training for disadvantaged individuals and specialises in the manufacture of products using reclaimed timber.

Office, Task & Desk Chairs

Rhubarb’s office seating provides a capsule collection of “good”, “better”, “best” options, all engineered to provide robustness, durability and real value for money at each price point.

The common denominator is that every one of our chairs is designed with good posture first and foremost – most of us spend too much time sitting at a desk or terminal and providing the best possible support for the back and lumbar, at every price point, is vital.
