Overview

The Brief

At the end of 2018, Cork Airport approached CJM for a cost-conscious solution to furnish their new management office suite within the terminal building. Initially seeking quality used furniture, the client also required designs that met strict aesthetic standards and reflected the airport’s professional image. With tight budgets, live operational conditions, and high-profile stakeholders, the challenge was to deliver a premium workspace without exceeding costs.

Our Solution

Working with our manufacturing partner, CJM created a tailored, budget-friendly proposal using brand-new furniture that matched the airport’s design vision. Following a competitive tender, we were chosen for our value, service offering, and ability to integrate existing pieces. We provided white desking, storage units, desk-mounted screens, ergonomic 24-hour operator chairs, and a custom 6-person meeting pod—each upholstered in Camira fabric to match the airport’s branding. With careful coordination between daa’s project manager, Cork Airport staff, the design team, and contractors, we delivered the installation on time, on budget, and with minimal operational disruption.
