The inclusion of a table further enhances this range’s capabilities.    Robert Mustoe, managing director of The Senator Group, said:    “When it comes to design, we consider comfort, the type of task being undertaken and the requirement to enhance collaboration. We also place importance on understanding the world around us with the changing workplace, the influence of technology and the need to represent an organisation’s strategic goals. This ethos has been central to the production of our products and the development of our brands.   “By exhibiting pieces such as Chemistry, Ottens and Destination at Salone del Mobile, we are able to bring inventive new design approaches for workplaces, higher education, hotels, corporate spaces and transportation hubs to one of the most highly regarded design shows in the world. We are looking forward to showcasing some of our most exciting and innovative products, demonstrating how we take traditional notions of designing for comfort and relaxation and apply them to the rapidly-evolving work, study, rest and travel environments.”   Visitors are invited to view the new portfolio between the 14th and 19th April, in Hall 24 Stand D02 D06 at the Fiera Milano fairgrounds.   For accompanying images of The Senator Group products and a full brochure, please visit The Senator Group Pinterest page, or contact our PR agents below.   ENDS   Press contact: Elizabeth Bedford, MC2  +44 (0)161 236 1352  elizabethb@thisismc2.com   Note: for more information and image requests please contact The Senator Group press office via the details above.
