Video communications specialist Imago Group has added a furniture maker to its portfolio, with a view to boosting revenues from sales of immersive telepresence products.
Ian Vickerage, managing director of Imago, says new parter Benchmark – a bespoke furniture joint-venture of Terence Conran and Sean Sutcliffe – is design-led and has a proven track record in producing furniture for homes, offices and hotels. “We will be making [the furniture] available in a range of wood and finishes,” he said.
Stylish, comfortable, practical furniture would help optimise video conferencing deployments of Polycom ATX telepresence offerings. The custom-built furniture would be “ergonomic and sustainable”, he said.
