The new CIP (Commercial Important Passengers) lounge for Terminal 3 provides British Airway's first and club class passengers with facilities equal to the quality and standard already achieved in Terminal 5.

The newly designed space comprised two separate lounge areas for first class and club class passengers, incorporating visually stunning reception areas, illuminated back bars, illuminated island bars, first class wine galleries, news displays and many other luxurious specialist individual items.

Swift Horsman was contracted to provide a combination of large scale specialist joinery furniture created from fumed oak, coloured glass panelling with image interlayer's, Corian and granite finishes, specialist metal works, specialist LED lighting and chilled refrigeration units.

Based upon the architects design, Swift Horsman provided full working drawings from which all items of specialist joinery were manufactured in their factory facility. Using modern methods of construction all of the pre-engineered furniture and finishes were delivered to site in modules ready for a quick and efficient installation.

Swift Horsman's attention to detail, high quality of workmanship and level of expertise were vital to ensure a finished project in keeping with the reputation and expectations of British Airways.
