AKA: Changing Rooms At The BBC

Studio furniture specialist AKA Design has equipped two high-end online editing suites for BBC Post Production, part of BBC Resources Ltd, a wholly owned commercial subsidiary of the BBC.
AKA Design used furniture from its Custom range of bespoke interiors to furnish BBC Post Production's fourth floor Entertainment facility at Television Centre, which is used by a variety of broadcasters and production companies, including the BBC.
AKA Managing Director Guy Wilson, who was asked to recreate a completely new look for the postproduction suites.
Wilson said: "Working closely with senior entertainment post producer Sonia Rajani, we've given the suites a modern, comfortable and creative feel. We got away from industrial laminates and went for a soft and warm approach, working with walnut and soft leather nosing around the desks.
"We're repositioned the suites to provide a relaxation area at the back which they didn't have before and they can still accommodate up to four people around the large desks."
Wilson continued: "It's the combination of kit and environment that makes a post production suite successful. The fact that the new suites have been heavily utilised suggests that the new design has gone down well with BBC Post Production's customers."
