Unveiling our new London flagship showroom
Our new showroom on Goswell Road in Clerkenwell, marks a significant milestone for us, highlighting our commitment to innovation and design excellence. The move celebrates 30 years of KI in the UK, marking its growth by placing KI at the centre of London’s design district. The stunning showroom is designed to showcase our range of innovative furniture solutions in curated zones.
The layout of the showroom is intentional, designed with purpose allowing the product offering across workplace, education, higher education and hospitality to flow through the building. The triple front window display showcases our newly launched products with Sutton in 4 colours, alongside the new Logon task chair.
Variations of 800 Series, Work2.1 High Capacity and Contour sit stand desks and other soft seating options from KI and our partner Bejot feature throughout the ground floor where our in-house product design team are based. There is also a formal boardroom where 800 Series Shelving, Limelite Conference Chairs and a 12 person Zig Table all feature in Oxide Red.
A flexible multi-purpose presentation space is in the adjacent room, which leads through to the stunning terrace showcasing outdoor furniture, accentuated by grand potted olive trees. The dramatic staircase leading up to the first floor features an acoustic replica of the intricate Grafton Chair pattern.
The second floor boasts an Education Zone, offering seating solutions suitable for all ages, spaces and requirements. The iconic Postura+ range features here with several height options and variations including mixed material, and one piece injection moulded chairs and stools. New recently launched seating including the Hatton Stools and the Sebel and Sutton Chair are also on show here. The first floor continues to our workspace area, complete with rows of Work2.1 Core sit stand desks, paired with Solon and the new Logon task chairs.
The showroom has retained some key features from the building, including the Piero Lissoni designed staircase and the surrounding double height space, as well as the floor to ceiling glass partition systems that now define the boardroom and multi-purpose presentation space.
Our new showroom is a collaborative achievement, bringing together a team of expert partners to deliver an adaptable environment tailored to showcase our diverse product range. Originally envisioned by concept architects work.place.create, the project evolved through a close partnership between us, IKON Group as main contractor, and Design with Narrative (DWN) as the design delivery partner. The result of this collaboration was the creation of a destination environment that is more than just an office and furniture showroom, but a multi-purpose environment that blends working, hospitality, education and knowledge sharing.
