The total refurbishment of the 12-storey Apex Plaza building in Reading, owned by the Prudential Assurance Group, included a sweeping redesign of the front-of-house atrium reception area. Designed by ADP architects, it features two raised eye-shaped café-space islands at either end of the reception and a new water feature. The ADP design also included circular concrete-shell bench seating at the centre of the two raised café islands.

Working closely with the architects and the Prudential, C2 successfully sourced and delivered furniture to complement the interior design. This included a classic Charles sofa, designed by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia Furniture for the waiting areas and 1980s iconic Amat Toledo tables and chairs for the two raised café areas. C2 also designed, supplied and installed custom-made seats and backs for the circular bench seating and, since the initial installation, has supplied loose furniture for the atrium, which has grown in popularity with the Apex Plaza tenants.
