New management workstation display in the London showroom.
When you're choosing desks for senior managers, something exeptional may be called for. For this sector we've put together a display of some fantastic executive workstations and meeting tables in the showroom.
High quality finishes used include veneers, aluminium, stainless steel, glass and a unique tactile ‘softcoat’ surface. The Air Desk shown is part of a range that includes desks, glass storage, credenzas and a glass working wall.
Our executive ranges are available now to view and order from Forza London. We hope to see you in the showroom soon and would welcome your reaction.

Archibald wins at the Wallpaper Design Awards 2010.
The Archibald armchair, by Poltrona Frau has already been well received at the Milan furniture fair this year. Now it has achieved further acclaim in London. A highly select jury, comprising names such as Steven Holl, John Galliano, and Pedro Almodovar, chose the Archibald armchair, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for Poltrona Frau, as the winner of the prestigious Wallpaper Design Awards 2010 in London as best armchair in the category “Best domestic design”.
If you'd like to see it for real, we have an example of the lovely Archibald in the London showroom. Our one is dressed in a tan leather of the impossibly soft Poltrona Frau kind.

The London Design Festival is a nine-day celebration of design in the world’s creative capital. The Festival is a platform for the widest spectrum of design disciplines, brought together as a unique and accessible programme. This year, Forza will be explaining through the medium of film the Valcucine philosophy of dematerialization and providing a taste of a new reality.
The Forza showroom in Great Portland Street is the venue to explore the products of the Valcucine collection, debate the very current issues and plan that state-of-the-art kitchen.
Forza Projects has substantially reduced its carbon footprint in promoting the range of environmentally-friendly kitchens from Valcucine of Italy. Experiments with innovative technology have produced new products which use less material, are inherently long-lasting and, when the time comes for recycling are easily catalogued and separated.

Forza’s kitchen showroom is now open in Cobham
Forza’s Kitchen & home showroom has now officially opened its doors in Cobham, Surrey.
Over a hundred clients and partners were recently welcomed for a private view of this remodelled Victorian chapel, and the beautiful Leicht kitchen displays designed by Forza’s Percy Contractor. Guests were also fed and entertained by live cookery demonstrations from our talented Gaggenau team. Upstairs, there was space to relax on the ultra-comfy Flexform Groundpiece sofa, whilst listening to some remarkable audio equipment, demonstrated by Paul Kasler of The Pleasure Home.
Now it’s complete, we think the showroom looks absolutely stunning. Based on the reaction so far, our clients seem to agree. Come visit Forza Kitchen & Home, Cobham and be inspired!

Local restaurant ‘find’ in London W1
We’re pretty well-served for nice eating places around Great Portland Street; from little cafés to the lovely Villandry across the road. One local gem is Iberica, a bar, restaurant and shop offering the best of Spanish cuisine and ingredients. We went for lunch a couple of weeks ago and loved their squid with black rice.

Incidentally, the Stua ‘Globus’ chairs and ‘Onda’ stools on the ground floor look very good against the dark woodwork. We have samples of these and other Stua products in the Forza showroom.
