Welcome to Serota

Serota has gained a reputation for fulfilling even the most challenging of design briefs particularly when it comes to libraries. With over 100 years' experience of manufacturing and fitting, the company is noted for creating fine furniture that is in keeping with its surroundings, from refurbishment projects in listed buildings through to the most contemporary of designs. Using the latest technology combined with attention to detail, Serota provides beautiful craftsmanship of uncompromising quality which will last for decades. As all Serota furniture is custom-made, clients have the opportunity to choose a solution that suits their space rather than having to select standard products from a catalogue. Our clients include leading universities, independent and state schools such as Balliol College, Eton College, The London Oratory and Tiffin School. Serota has also supplied professional and legal organisations including The Royal Society of Medicine, Chatham House, and law firms such as Kennedys and Stephenson Harwood.

Products

The product range is all-encompassing including shelving, journal/multimedia storage and display, issue desks, tables, IT desks and benching, chairs, carrels, glazed bookcases, display cabinets and self-issue machines. Materials available include hardwoods from sustainable sources, veneers, painted finishes, steel, glass and Corian, along with laminates, linoleum, marmoleum and leather.

All our furniture is custom-made and therefore offers clients ultimate flexibility in choosing the right solution for their environment.

Service

We offer a full FF&E (furniture, fittings and equipment) service taking into account DDA requirements and providing practical solutions for IT and multimedia working environments. Our services include design consultancy, tender preparation, furniture design, space planning, project management, supply of products and fittings, full installation and fit-outs, and commissioning.

We frequently liaise with architects, bursars, librarians and builders to provide personal attention, ensuring confidence at every stage of the project.
