PwC’s new Bristol headquarters at 2 Glass Wharf was designed to reflect the firm’s progressive approach to work — blending professionalism with warmth, and innovation with comfort. As a leading global network, PwC wanted a workplace that would inspire collaboration, support wellbeing, and represent the company’s values of quality and integrity within a modern, high-performing environment.
The space needed to accommodate a variety of work styles, from focused individual tasks to informal team discussions. With natural materials, considered textures, and refined detailing, the design celebrates craftsmanship while offering a timeless aesthetic suited to one of the world’s most respected professional service firms.
Creating a workplace for a global organisation like PwC demanded a careful balance between function, form, and identity. The Bristol office needed to align with the company’s international brand standards while also reflecting the unique character of the local area. Every piece of furniture had to contribute to a cohesive atmosphere — one that feels both professional and welcoming, adaptable yet enduring.
NaughtOne supplied a considered selection of furniture to enhance this sophisticated interior. Viv Wood chairs and bar stools, crafted with walnut bases, bring warmth and a natural touch to the space, complementing the architectural finishes of 2 Glass Wharf. These pieces provide comfort and durability while maintaining the refined aesthetic PwC is known for. The result is a workplace that reflects the company’s forward-thinking ethos — elegant, functional, and built to last.
Viv Wood combines the classic good looks of the Viv Chair with the timeless appeal of wood. The result is a striking and dependable chair that works anywhere.
A simple, comfortable staple of the NaughtOne portfolio, the Viv Wood Chair’s slender shape is emphasised by its tight and skillful upholstery. The wooden base feels reassuringly robust but also comfortingly familiar.
Available as a standard chair and bar or counter-height stool, Viv Wood’s smart style upgrades any setting: from hotel to café to office to campus. It comes in a vast range of fabrics as standard and with a choice of classic solid oak or sophisticated walnut base.
