About HIVE:

Hive is designed by Roger Webb Associates with today’s agile working in mind. As an innovative and award-winning modular system, Hive answers that brief. Hive has integrated technology, including power modules and WiFi. It also has options for fixed or freestanding TVs and displays. And there is a range of stylish accessories, for example acoustic canopies which allow you to create private spaces. Hive also flexes with a great selection of fabrics and finishes, to reflect the brand and culture of any environment, be that office, airport or university.

About DIXI:

Design by Ratio Design Associates, DIXI combines style with the perfect seat for quiet contemplation. Dixi’s high back design provides a reduced noise environment, whilst Dixi’s low back provide comfort & style.This striking chair provides a cosy and secluded area for the user, in a hectic working environment. Ideal as a chair for private working or group collaboration; the way that you use Dixi really is up to you. Available with swivel or fixed base.

2015 saw a real step change in the Connection business vision, moving from a task chair seating manufacturer to launching an innovative range of soft seating & agile work solutions. Kelvin Bromley, Connection MD explains ‘The most significant shift in thinking came through the design & launch of Hive. The unprecedented demand for this product highlighted to us how the workplace environments demanded more smart thinking products which delivered on agile working. From the details in the fabrics to the smart acoustics we have repositioned our whole Connection brand to be about development of inspirational products which advance workplaces. 2016 will see us continue to combine our knowledge of workplace requirements & lifestyle trends to really personify how we ‘make spaces work.’
