Dorma Variflex Glass Semi automatic acoustic moveable wall - SharkNinja offices in Battersea Power Station

At SharkNinja’s flagship offices within the iconic Battersea Power Station development, partitioning expert Style worked with Bowman Riley architects, and contractor, Ben Johnson Interiors, to create flexible internal space to meet the working needs of this forward-thinking company.

A Dorma Hüppe Variflex glass moveable wall divides a section of the café, creating a large meeting room. A solid Variflex wall allows the space to be further divided into two smaller areas.

This chic solution perfectly complements the contemporary décor whilst the impressive acoustic ratings of the walls of 52dB and 55dB respectively, provides exceptional privacy when the café is busy. The semi-automatic operation of both systems ensures the acoustic seals are always applied to exactly the correct pressure whilst improving ease of manoeuvrability for staff.

SharkNinja, is the maker of class-leading Shark® vacuums and the innovative line of Ninja® kitchen appliances, positively impacting daily life in homes around the world. The new offices at Battersea Power Station spread over 25,000 square feet and forms a key part of the company’s continued expansion.

Style is the UK’s sole distributor for both Dorma and Skyfold partitioning walls, offering specialist solutions for all requirements and budgets across multiple market sectors.

In addition to the two Dorma Hüppe Variflex walls, Style also installed a simple, yet highly effective manually operated folding wall in the demonstration room, allowing the space to be divided into two separate areas, when required.

“This is a great example of how different types of moveable walls suit different requirements,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group sales director.

“As a key area for gatherings and meetings, the combination of the glass and solid Variflex systems was perfect for the café area as it maintains an open plan feel, and a very stylish design, while also offering the practicality of being able to create adaptable meeting rooms when required.

“In the demonstration room, the requirements were specific, and the folding wall was just what was needed to create simple space division.”
