Case Studies

Falco ‘scores the double’ by designing and manufacturing street furniture products to both Manchester United and Manchester City Football Clubs! When Manchester United required a series of high quality picnic tables designed to withstand heavy usage from football day fixtures, Falco were commissioned to manufacture twelve FalcoRubo picnic tables powder coated in the traditional United red! All twelve picnic tables are located next to the United Trinity statue outside the East Stand at Old Trafford which are  available to use during match day fixtures as well as daytime visits to the stadium. Falco has also previously supplied picnic tables to Manchester City Football Club as part of the club’s new development for a City Square entertainment zone - a vibrant and state-of-the-art fan experience which is a new concept in British football. The City Square Entertainment Zone is located on Joe Mercer Way outside the City store. Falco manufactured and supplied thirty nine FalcoBloc picnic tables along with twenty FalcoSwing tables to form a seating and ‘perch’ arrangement at the Blue Moon Café. Other facilities include giant LED screens, entertainment and a superb new menu devised with the help of top chef Marco Pierre White. FalcoRubo Picnic Table (Manchester United) A simple sweeping curve coupled with routed wooden table slats housed into the framework make the picnic table a beautiful and modern design. The FalcoRubo combines a hot-dip galvanised steel frame with hardwood slats ensuring a highly durable product for match day fixtures.
