KI opens new show room in Clerkenwell

KI Europe has announced the opening of its new showroom on Goswell Road in Clerkenwell, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s evolution and highlighting its 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 showroom is designed to showcase KI’s range of innovative furniture solutions in cleverly 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.

KI’s triple front window display showcases newly launched product with the Sutton Chair in 4 colours, alongside the new Logon task chair proudly displayed for the showroom launch.

The showroom design retained some key features within 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.

Nick Viner, Project Architect at work.place.create architecture and interior design studio shared that their “key aim of the project was to design an interior that aligned with the personality, brand and culture of KI with a desire to retain some of the key design features within the building. The selection of materials has been sensitively considered in order to be environmentally conscious and to align the interior with the respectful manufacturing philosophy of KI. The success of the project has been achieved as a result of deep engagement from KI creating a positive working environment through active brand engagement and effective collaboration.”

Fiona Fuller, Associate Designer at Design with Narrative said: “This project was all about honouring the original vision while ensuring the final build captured the detail and quality everyone was striving for. We tested multiple design options along the way, refining each element to make sure the space not only looked exceptional but gave KI the right platform to operate seamlessly and tell their story. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see that vision come to life.”
