Connection Furniture

What Connection Furniture does

Connection Furniture (legally Flokk Limited, trading as Connection / Connection Seating) is a UK-headquartered manufacturer of commercial office furniture, operating as a brand within the Flokk Group, a diversified European commercial furniture conglomerate. The company's core offering is a broad portfolio of workplace seating, tables, booths, collaborative workspace systems, soft seating, work café furniture, work chairs, and stools & benches, organized into seven product categories covering roughly 40+ active ranges including Tryst booths, Terrain, Co.Table, WorkWell, Oko, Cubbi, Drift, Plenti, and Spaces. Manufacturing and operations are based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, with showrooms in London, Manchester, Paris, Düsseldorf, and Zurich, and the catalog emphasizes sustainable materials (notably PET felt from 50% recycled bottles in the Drift line), a Forest Carbon offset partnership supporting a net-zero-by-2050 target, and inclusive design features such as wheelchair-accessible booth configurations and neurodivergent-friendly product ranges.

The business operates a pure B2B, sales-led, specification-driven model with no e-commerce channel. Pricing is quote-based and delivered through showroom consultations, field sales, and direct engagement with office designers, architects, and facilities managers; the company supports the specification process with freely available CAD blocks, Revit files, 2D/3D drawings, technical documentation, and a web-based 'Configurate' space-planning tool. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time commercial furniture sales (with custom/bespoke configuration capability) structured as multi-year contracts for larger projects. End-customer logos span technology (JustPark), health technology (Flo Health), and life sciences (New England Biolabs), with named specifying firms including Kitt Offices and SRA Architects. Marketing reach is delivered through a localized website (English, French, German), LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, email newsletters, and CPD seminars for the design community. The company is privately held under Flokk Limited (registered in England and Wales), with no public listing, no venture funding disclosed, and no quantified revenue or headcount figures publicly available.
