    We are moving:

    A new chapter

    Date: 02.04.2026

    After more than 10 years in London Fields, our studio is moving.

    This isn’t just a change of address, it’s a shift in how we connect, collaborate and continue to build on what we do. From May 2026, you’ll find us at Beton by Spacemade, where Barbican meets Clerkenwell, an area shaped by design history, material innovation and making.

    Why We’re Moving

    Over the past decade, our studio in Hackney has been a place to test ideas, build relationships and develop how we think about materials. As our work evolves, so does the need for a space that supports collaboration, both within our team and across the wider industry.

    Spacemade, a fellow B Corp creates workspaces designed around connection. Their approach aligns with how we work: bringing together people, ideas and materials to drive better outcomes.

    Beton sits between the bold, raw architecture of the Barbican and the creative energy of Clerkenwell’s design district. It’s a location that reflects the intersection we operate in between design, material innovation and circular thinking.

    As Spacemade describes it:

    “A workspace designed for the bold, the unconventional, and the creatively driven.”

    This move is also about being part of the right conversations.

    After attending Spacemade’s Impact with Intention event, it’s clear this is a community focused on doing, not just discussing. The conversations centre on how to build commercially viable businesses with sustainability embedded into everyday decisions.

    That reflects what we see in our own work progress when ideas are shared, challenged and applied in practice.

    Carrying materials forward

    The new studio is designed to support how we work.

    A flexible, modular layout allows the space to adapt and gives us more room to host material sessions, workshops and conversations around circular design.

    Within the space, you’ll find:

    • Material drawers showcasing worktop possibilities
    • Displays that show materials in use, not just in samples
    • Mother of pearl plinths developed in collaboration with Jil Sander
    • Our Richlite tables, still in use since the day we opened
    • Areas for discussion and collaboration

    Alongside these, a range of evolving material applications and installations will continue to build out the space over time.

    "End of an era, but it’s a continuation of what we’ve been building in in a space that better supports it"
