Reee chair launch party

Pli launched the Reee chair on Wednesday this week. Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate. We had a good party and I hear some of our friends carried on into the weee small hours.

But the main thing was for us to share the achievement of bringing an innovative product to market, with all the stakeholders, partners and well-wishers who have been instrumental in the project.

Pli began developing the Reee chair in 2006 with Sprout Design as the designer. Now we have a finished product, already in shops and installed in some homes, meeting rooms and (next week) lecture halls.

Here are some photos of the launch… (click to enlarge)
