A cosy, warming pizza eatery in Richmond - drawing on a rich but not overt colour

palette, and a contemporary flair, this space combines an up to date and comforting aesthetic with the four things that most inspire Pizza Express - beautiful music, stunning design, unique experiences and exceptional food. Of particular note here are our Arto sidechairs, upholstered in a beautiful sap-green hue that would have made da Vinci

proud - juxtaposed with marble tabletops and classic, monochromatic tiled floor, an Italian vision has appeared in the southwest of London.

A new year in view, a fresh start; bring us that horizon. We have had a great year at UHS – we are proud to have been involved in some

great projects, with some great people – something that drives us daily is being able to work with some of the most creative minds in the hospitality industry currently.

Keep your eyes peeled for our new Range 2016, our new catalogue, and several other exciting exploits for the New Year.

We continue to innovate, experiment, create and marvel at the things that inspire us, the things that inspire others, and as 2015 draws her cloak about her shoulders and bids us farewell, we leave you with a memory of some of our proudest moments, our greatest inspirations, and our finest endeavours.

We have worked on some brilliant restaurants and bars, among them many leading names in the industry, ranging from franchises and chains to boutique, special projects.

If you would like to find out about a specific project or product, please email us at beinspired@uhs-group.com or contact our team on 0330 1222 400.

Filled with light wickerwork chairs and weather beaten

tabletops, Coffee Ground is a hippy take on a very botanical aesthetic. Given that it is in the heart of a garden centre it certainly draws on various elements found around it - the

aged metal patinas, the fresh feel of raw planed timber, the wicker weave.

If you want to have your tea and cake in a greenhouse away from your greenhouse, then Coffee Ground will pluck that chord in your heart.

TRENDSMILL COLLECTIONOur Mill Collection has continued to expand, with the addition of the contemporary ‘Linea’ table and bench, and now a round tabletop – the greatest timber substitute on the market is limitless…

We have really been enjoying the leanings towards a minimal urban aesthetic that has had a slight resurgence recently - rubbing our hands in glee at all the beautiful wireframe products we get to deal with…

Appeasing our craving for inspiration in whichever form we can find it, we headed out to the Sleep 2015 event, among others

– and we were justly intrigued, fascinated, and trigger happy – see below for a tiny window into the slap of inspiration we found

ourselves on the receiving end of.

Back in October, our Marketing & Sales Directors attended one of the most prestigious events in the hospitality design calendar, the Restaurant & Design Awards at London’s Old Truman Brewery.

It was an amazing night. Surreal and fascinating. One of the designers that we worked with, Kiwi & Pom, won Best Restaurant or Bar in Another Space for Coffee Ground.

Huge congratulations to them! We were glad to be a part of their journey.

Also, a special shout-out to all of the other nominees and to everyone else who attended!

U H S V I S I T S K F C I N C Y P R U STo offer our services abroad, we met up with KFC’s central European construction team in Cyprus to introduce our brand new range of furniture that has been specially designed for this popular, leading fast-food chain.
