The Watson

GETC’s Commercial division was awarded the contract to supply The Art Series ‘Watson Hotel’ Serviced Office area and a large range of hotel and apartment FF&E in Walkerville, Adelaide, South Australia.

After working closely with the in–house design and interiors team at Asian Pacific, GETC Commercial was awarded a range of project works throughout the site. The works included the entire Serviced Office area and a range of hotel and apartment FF&E.

The Serviced Apartment component of the project included the supply and installation of the full FF&E requirement for over 250 office & working spaces. GETC was proud to supply the entire range of Office Furniture and fittings—including, meeting desks, workstations, seating, bookshelves, reception settings, lounges, lamps among many other items.

Apart from the Loose-Furniture component, GETC also supplied a complete range of specialised, high–quality bathroom fittings for the Penthouse level apartments. These included highly polished chrome towel rails, soap holders, toilet roll holders and other bathroom amenities.

Taking inspiration from the famed Australian artist, Yannima Pirkarli Tommy Watson, the Furnishings were specified to reflect a modern, exciting & functional workspace.

The use of solid oak tabletops on high–quality folding conference legs provided for full versatility and flexibility within the main meeting areas. The custom upholstered Eames replica chairs were built to a specific standard and design specified by the client.

During the project, GETC was called upon to expedite the delivery of particular elements—in order for the client to meet an accelerated work plan. Once production of the required items was accelerated within the factories, GETC’s dedicated shipping and logistics team, located at the Shanghai Head Office, arranged express airfreight of over 30m3 of materials.

As costly as this sounds, GETC was able to deliver the solution for the client early and with a 22% saving to the approximate locally quoted price. GETC is proud to have the opportunity to exceed a customer’s expectations, while still delivering considerable savings.
