Rope Barrier System (Post)

<p>Although the link between hot air balloons and crowd control barriers might not seem obvious, it&rsquo;s believed that one helped invent the other. These days it&rsquo;s very common to see many different kinds of barriers to assist crowd management. Our furniture hire London warehouses are stocked with a variety of products whose invention can be traced back to the 1800s.</p>
<h2>What do barriers and balloons have in common?</h2>
<p>In the 1860s, lots of people in France would have heard of Nadar - in fact his name is still in use today in relation to crowd control barriers. But in the 19th Century, he was very well known for being a talented photographer, caricaturist and writer. As well as being involved in the arts via these careers, he also had a love of ballooning, and took to the skies several times in the aptly named Le Geant - which translates as the Giant.</p>
<h2>Nadar still on the radar</h2>
<p>During the early part of the 1860s, Nadar decided to visit Brussels - from the air! In order to make sure spectators stayed out of the path of the descending balloon, the photographer set up some barriers, coining the term Nadar Barriers, which is still used in Dutch and French Belgian. Soon after this, more and more crowd control measures were used at larger events, for the same reasons they&rsquo;re used today, including defining areas for waiting/standing and to show clear routes of exit and entry.</p>
<h2>Crowd control posts take off</h2>
<p>In the 20th Century, crowd management products were&nbsp; increasingly made from metal, rather than wood. The wooden variety were produced in greater numbers in the mid to late 1900s, and around 1951, interlocking steel barriers hit the market and demand rose for those made from stronger materials. In the 1960s and into the 1980s, barriers started to become a more common site in different locations, from the Olympic Games, to Airports and at Concerts too.</p>
<h2>Barriers for any size events</h2>
<p>Designs also changed to suit both large and small venues, and stretch barriers were unique in that they could be used in locations of any size. Our range of posts are this versatile, with some being installed at huge sporting events, while other clients have chosen to hire a small selection for exclusive nightclub events for example. Our rope barriers look very glamorous, and because of this, they&rsquo;re often a top choice for those red carpet events, or when you want to add some glitz to your venue.</p>
<h2>Get your venue red carpet ready</h2>
<p>As a crowd control product, they can define those areas where guests can stand, or where they should queue. The rope clips smoothly and quickly on to the post, so when they&rsquo;re used for entry/exits, they can be connected/disconnected in seconds. We have many of these in stock, so they&rsquo;re perfect for those large events, including televised shows, red carpet parties, nightclubs, and private parties. As well as defining where guests can go, these barriers also highlight areas where visitors should refrain from walking or standing. This is very useful during exhibitions, or in galleries and museums where you&rsquo;d like to cordon off exhibits.</p>
<h2>Up-market&hellip; and affordable</h2>
<p>An important part of our rope barrier&rsquo;s appeal, is that is has a very up-market look. This is because of the rich red rope, combined with our chrome post. These add a celebrity and VIP look to any occasion and can be matched with lots of other products from our range to up the glamour factor at your event. For example, they look great twinned with our chrome poseur tables and range of stools. Installed around a red carpet they allow you to create spectacular entrances for all your guests at any event - even those involving hot air balloons.</p>

<p>For ultimate glitz and glamour at your event, you can install our rope barrier post, as this lets you define VIP areas, create stylish introduction to venues, and cordon off special exhibits or products. Combine with our red ropes for a really luxurious look great for those premium events, like award shows and red carpet events.<br /><br /></p>

<h2>Get Red Rope Barriers For That Exclusive Look</h2>
<p>Crowd management has been a technique to keep people safe and events running smoothly since people first began to gather in groups, but the barriers that help this process only became invented in the last two hundred years. We have a fantastic modern and stylish range on offer for those premium occasions.</p>
<h3>French fancy!</h3>
<p>Many people thank a French photographer for the creation of posts that were designed to keep spectators, visitors and guests in defined areas. Called Nadar, the inventor pursued many hobbies, which included drawing caricatures, writing novels and piloting hot air balloons!</p>
<h3>Not all hot air</h3>
<p>It might seem a very varied mixture of activities, but he was known for all of these pastimes, as well as the creator of the first crowd control barriers in 1864. These days, crowd management is often a necessity when it comes to events, with some companies bound to hire these kinds of products whether their occasion is large or on the smaller side. <br /><br />Nadar wasn&rsquo;t bound by regulations like many companies are today, he just decided to erect some barriers when he flew his Le Geant - translates as the giant - balloon to Brussels to reduce the chance of accidents. As the name suggests this was a very large balloon, measuring 6,000 metres cubed. To make sure that visitors to the landing site didn&rsquo;t stray into its path when landing he erected some mobile barriers.</p>
<h3>Barriers&hellip; wherever you need them!</h3>
<p>This was a major turning point for crowd control, because not only did he show how useful crowd management can be, but he created a product that was mobile. The features of his invention caught on with lots of companies and organisation, and the fact that they&rsquo;re still referred to as Nadar Barriers in some parts of the world show what a landmark creation he came up with. In time, the products moved from being made to wood, to metal, and their sturdiness and reliability ensured they were installed across many venues and events, from the Olympics, to airports and many more locations.</p>
<h3>Move them, store them, install them - with ease</h3>
<p>Because Nadar&rsquo;s and later inventions were mobile, it meant that barriers became a lot more practical for a range of clients. In fact, this benefit is still valued today, with our customers regularly ordering lots of our stretch barriers and ropes and poles from our furniture hire London stocks. Our product line is designed with full mobility in mind, and they can be easily moved in locations, so you can create the perfect crowd management system for your needs. In the 1860s, Nadar used his barriers to keep visitors safe, and this is still a common use for them today.</p>
<h3>One-clip crowd management?</h3>
<p>When large crowds are expected at your event, our barriers can be used to highlight zones where they ought to stand and keep them out of the paths of any dangers - including hot air balloons! Our ropes and poles are also fantastic when you&rsquo;d like really smooth crowd management, as you can place them in parallel lines for queuing. Another great feature of our furniture hire London ropes and poles, is that they are ideal for when you&rsquo;re operating one-in one-out systems. The clip integrated to the red rope unfastens and fastens in just a few seconds, so guests are emitted smoothly and quickly.</p>
<h3>Smooth style</h3>
<p>As well as assisting with entry and exit of visitors, our red ropes and poles look fantastic too. The chrome post is stylish, while the braided rope adds a deluxe element to the whole ensemble. Although these furniture hire London products look very elegant, you can trust them to be very robust too. This is down to the sturdy post, which keeps the product very steady, without making it difficult to move the item. Because of the stylish appearance of our red ropes and poles, they&rsquo;re often chosen from our furniture hire London range for red carpet, VIP and celebrity events. We also have <a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/chrome-stretch-barrier">chrome</a> or <a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/black-stretch-barrier">black stretch barriers</a>.<br /><br /></p>

<p>As the perfect complement to our rope barrier our red rope is deluxe, heavy and gives a glamourous and sophisticated look to your events. Clipping seamlessly on to our posts choose this option to get ultra-glitzy crowd management and designate specific VIP areas or create a wow factor at the entrance to your venue.</p>

Black Lecture Chair

<h2>Seats for the rich and powerful?</h2>
<p>In today&rsquo;s market, we&rsquo;re often spoiled for choice for many different items, from the desks, tables and seating we need. Although most offices, organisation and homeowners have lots of different chairs of a variety of types, this has not always been the case. Today when we relax in a coffee shop we might choose a sofa, while we&rsquo;re at our desks we might opt for an operators chair, and during training sessions, a black lecture chair is a perfect choice.</p>
<h3>Budget and beyond...</h3>
<p>Back before the 14th Century chairs were usually owned by only rich and powerful people. Although mostly made of timber until the 17th Century, they quickly became more ornamental, and instead of being just used by aristocrats, royalty and military leaders, everyday people who had the budget required could get a chair. This shows that they were quite a luxury for many, but this has changed in recent times, especially when designers purposefully create products that are cheaper to produce and very useful too.</p>
<h3>Mass production and discounted prices</h3>
<p>Like with many of the chair providers in the 19th, 20th and 21st Centuries, we think hire furniture should be affordable to all, which is why we keep our prices permanently low and offer price breaks on top of this. Seating started to become more and more economical when chairs could be massed produced, and in 1964 a designer called David Rowland succeeded in bringing a cost effective and very practical chair to the market.</p>
<h3>Early lecture chairs</h3>
<p>Named the 40/4, his product consisted of an upholstered seat and seat back, attached to a steel rod frame - an addition of a wooden writing tablet, transformed the model from a handy seat, into an item that looks like an earlier version of our lecture chairs. Demand for the 40/4 quickly grew, as companies, organisations and educational institutions began to see the merits of the design. The most obvious benefit this type of seating offered at the time, was comfort - thanks to the upholstery on the seat and seat back - but why else was it so popular and why did it become an award winning product?</p>
<p>Part of the reason is because the 40/4 could be stacked thanks to the strength of the steel rod frame. This proved very useful to companies needing to move large quantities of the chairs around venues, but it also saved on space too, as when they weren&rsquo;t in use they could be easily stacked out of the way.</p>
<h3>A mix of the traditional and modern</h3>
<p>Back to the 21st century, we&rsquo;re proud to reveal that our lecture chairhire range retains some of these benefits and have more added too. With high grade deep cushioning on both the seat and seat back, this is a very comfy model, made even more so by the lumbar support. Rather than steel rod, our seating has a tubular steel frame which is incredibly light and also easy to stack, so you get all the storage benefits you require.</p>
<p>We can also supply l<a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/linking-loops">inking loops,</a> which attach to the chair's legs and can keep seating it neat rows. Don't forget that when you're arranging conferences or meetings we also supply useful furniture rental accessories, such as <a href="https://www.onlinefurniturehire.com/products/freestanding-black-screen">freestanding screens</a> too!</p>
<h3>Plastic fantastic</h3>
<p>When used with a chair trolley you&rsquo;re able to move large groups of this item throughout your venues, making set up smooth and quick. Rubber feet on the chair legs mean that flooring is protected from marks, allowing you to use this product free from worry.Our lecture chair also features a very lightweight - rather than wooden - writing tablet, that is simple to attach to seats and moved smoothly in front, and to the side, of the product depending on your needs. Being plastic, it&rsquo;s easy to clean and provides a stable surface on which to write, read or take notes.</p>

<p>High grade upholstery and a plastic writing tablet results in a very comfy seat that also has a handy surface for note-taking or resting papers, digital notebooks and refreshments. An excellent choice for all your lectures, seminars and training sessions, our black lecture chair takes up less room as no desk is required.</p>

Medium Sized Meeting Table

Meeting Table Package (3750 x 3000)

<p>Our medium sized meeting table condenses all those fantastic benefits offered by earlier and innovative designs. Thousands of years ago, populations around the world didn&rsquo;t have access to all the robust materials and hi-tech machinery that we do now, tables still existed, and some of them were exceptionally opulent and well-designed for the times.</p>
<h2>Versatility - a modern day invention?</h2>
<p>One area where older versions of tables may not have been so strong, was in their versatility. For example, some of the first tables are reported to have been made from stone. This type of design is believed to have been used by Ancient Egyptians who used the stone platforms to protect food and other items from getting contaminated from dust/dirt from the floor. Although these tables served their purpose very well, they would have been difficult to move and relocate. Following these stone tables, other populations also created surfaces that were used for many different purposes.</p>
<h2>Not just for eating - meeting, greeting and more!</h2>
<p>The Greeks and Romans made theirs for eating, and fashioned them from a variety of stunning materials, including marble and metals. In the East however, some of the first tables were created solely for users to enjoy creative hobbies, such as painting. Eventually tables began to become much more versatile - with wood making them lighter and products being launched that could fold - enter the mobile table!</p>
<h2>All shapes and sizes...</h2>
<p>By the 15th Century trestle tables and those made from new joinery techniques were in widespread use, with different shapes also being used, such as the semi-circular variety that spread from Italy following introduction from the Romans. As you can see from our medium-sized meeting room table, our product lines benefit from all the innovative design, techniques and materials available in the 21st Century. There&rsquo;s a reason that folding tables have never lost their popularity - and that is because they&rsquo;re so easy to re-locate meaning you&rsquo;re able to use them in many different locations.</p>
<h2>Folding isn&rsquo;t the only feature</h2>
<p>Our medium meeting room table is composed of two rectangular tables and two of our D-end tables - with all of them folding flat in seconds. This means they&rsquo;re easy to transport and set up in any venue, whether this is your office, meeting/training room, exhibition, conference, classroom, break areas and any other location you fancy. The folding mechanism isn&rsquo;t the only feature making our meeting room tables perfect for corporate events, tutorials, seminars, training and lectures - we&rsquo;ve also chosen top quality materials for them.</p>
<h2>Our tables are made to last - affordable too!</h2>
<p>With a surface made from premium 25mm melamine, they are robust and heat/stain resistant, while the polished chrome frame is steady, sturdy and has a contemporary finish that complements the light oak colour of the table top.</p>

<p>Seating for ten has never been so stylish thanks to our medium sized meeting room table! With two rectangular modular tables and two of our D-end tables this configuration results in an oblong shape consisting of our premium quality products that are affordable and set up really quickly too.</p>
