Amarelle, the Bristol-based office design and build specialist, has officially opened its new contract furniture showroom and design centre as it enjoys more growth. The firm, formed six-and-a-half years ago and now employing 13 staff, relocated from its previous cramped base in Temple Way to its new home last month. Once part of the old gasworks in Silverthorne Lane, St Philips, the new 2,500 sq ft base has given the firm the opportunity to create an innovative space where it can showcase its designs to clients and demonstrate its design expertise.

Commercial director Charlotte Raynes said: “We spent a long time looking for the right place for our showroom. We didn’t just want a boring office – we wanted somewhere cool and quirky.” “It was quite a task to transform it but it’s been worth it,” said Charlotte. “It’s enabled us to show what we can do for our clients. We love bringing them here.”
