Spirit of Tasmania

​In 2020 an historic decision was made by Spirit of Tasmania, to move its Victorian port from Station Pier in Port Melbourne, to Spirit of Tasmania Quay in Geelong. The result is an amazing new terminal with State-of-the-art facilities which was constructed in under 12 months - a remarkable achievement.

K5 Furniture worked directly with Spirit of Tasmania to provide a furniture solution for the passenger waiting areas, cafe area, and onsite crew accommodation. The decision was made to use the Segis STAMP collection for its good looks and cost effective solution. A total of 240 seats were supplied in vinyl upholstery to the three and four seat beams. The use of three colours in random pattern provides a great aesthetic and beautifully complements the colours of the large scale artworks created by the Wadawurrung. The traditional owners of land on which the new Terminal is located. The stamp stools were also used for the taller tables which have been fitted with the Elsafe Pandora power charges. This solution provides a casual workspace for travellers, or for those that just want to catch up on a movie on their device without loosing battery. The taller tables were custom made with a timber frame made from Tasmanian hardwood.

The cafe is furnished with the Segis CULT chairs and Segis SAMU tables - the chairs, table and laminate have been selected in the matching pale green colour to create a silhouette effect. Very durable and practical - the polypropylene chairs are light weight and can be easily cleaned and stacked if necessary. The cafe accommodates 56 people around circular tables.

The new terminal project is significant for both Geelong and Tasmania regions, and K5 Furniture are very proud to have been involved in the furniture supply which will be used by many thousands of passengers for years to come.
