What sets Burgess Furniture apart from many of its competitors are its continual new product innovations. Ideas from our design meetings and customer’s ever changing requests have culminated in a new product which is now being put into production.The Configure-8 table range has proved so successful since its launch it was inevitable we would expand the range further.

The Inspiration
Simon Richards, Sales & Marketing Director says: “We work very closely with all of the leading international hotel chains and it was during a meeting with one particular group that the idea of developing a Flip Top version of the Configure-8 table was first discussed and it seemed a natural addition to the range. Initial reaction to this design has been fantastic with orders already in production. With the added option of flip-up data and power module we are sure the Configure-8 Flip Top will be a huge success.”

The Result
Combining the design technology of the Flip-Top with Configure-8, our most stylish table range.

THE CONFIGURE-8 FLIP-TOP RANGE – “IT’S ALL IN THE DESIGN”
