B&T celebrates 30 years with London showroom and design debut<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As it celebrates three decades in design, B&T opens a new chapter in London<\/a><\/strong>. The Istanbul-based brand is marking its 30th anniversary with the inauguration of its latest showroom in Clerkenwell, London\u2019s beating heart of creativity, which opened during Clerkenwell Design Week 2025. The launch aligned with Clerkenwell Design Week, one of the UK\u2019s most anticipated events in the architecture and design calendar. Alongside the showroom debut, B&T introduces two seating<\/a><\/strong> collections: the sculptural Pod series by acclaimed Japanese designer Jin Kuramoto, and the modular, expressive Metric by B&T\u2019s own Design Director, Alp Nuho\u011flu. This expansion signals the brand\u2019s growing international footprint and reaffirms its commitment to spaces that unite design with emotion, craft, and culture.<\/p>\n

A new space in clerkenwell, two new stories<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Founded in Istanbul, B&T has grown over three decades into a global voice in contemporary furniture<\/a><\/strong>, creating designs that traverse aesthetics and performance. With a philosophy rooted in interaction and creative synergy, the company continues to evolve, celebrating its 30th year by extending its reach into London with a new showroom in Clerkenwell. Known for curating shared environments that foster dialogue between disciplines, B&T\u2019s latest showroom mirrors the ethos of its Istanbul-based B&T House\u2014 a design hub launched in 2022. The Clerkenwell location is both a destination and a canvas, hosting the brand\u2019s latest work while inviting engagement across industries and cultures.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the centre of B&T\u2019s Clerkenwell debut are two compelling new releases. From Jin Kuramoto<\/a><\/strong> comes the Pod<\/strong><\/a> family\u2019s latest additions: Quad and Tri\u2014 geometric seating designs that investigate the harmony between light, form, and space. In contrast, Metric<\/a><\/strong>, designed by Alp Nuho\u011flu<\/a><\/strong>, offers a modular solution with a rhythmic visual identity, ideal for both private and public interiors. Unveiled together during Clerkenwell Design Week and housed in the brand\u2019s new showroom, these collections are a testament to B&T\u2019s approach: sculptural yet functional, personal yet universal.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kuramoto\u2019s Pod series is a study in purity and proportion. Quad and Tri, <\/strong>shaped after the square and triangle, combine a cylindrical outer frame with generous, voluminous cushioning, resulting in seating that floats slightly above the floor. Made with high-resilience foam over a wooden core, the pieces appear soft yet structured, delivering tactile comfort while projecting architectural clarity. The thoughtful inclusion of piping details along the upholstery elevates their presence, whether in monochrome palettes or playful color contrasts. The designs respond to spatial dynamics: they scale with grace in airy interiors and create intimate focal points in tighter spaces. Light interacts effortlessly with the forms, activating both shadow and surface, turning each seat into a sculptural object.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The design narrative behind Pod also stretches beyond form. Kuramoto\u2019s process was shaped during a creative retreat in Istanbul\u2014 a journey documented by B&T in a visual campaign titled 3 Days of Discovery. Through filmed diary entries and reflective storytelling, the campaign reveals how the textures, moments, and rhythms of Istanbul translated into the lines and atmosphere of Quad and Tri. The approach exemplifies B&T\u2019s belief that inspiration is rooted in place, and that good design is an exchange between memory and material.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Nuho\u011flu\u2019s Metric carves out a language of contrast and cadence. With vertical carriers in alternating heights and seamless backrest cushions, the system offers modular seating that defines the character of a room. Each configuration introduces rhythm\u2014almost musical in its repetition\u2014while maintaining the comfort and durability expected of B&T\u2019s work. The optional side table module adds a layer of tactility and utility, making Metric equally suited to hotel lobbies, offices, or residential lounges.<\/p>\n

Clerkenwell Design Week\u2019s setting, an intersection of architectural heritage and cutting-edge design, provided a fitting platform for B&T\u2019s next chapter. The new showroom, much like the Istanbul B&T House, is envisioned not just as a retail destination, but a collaborative environment for designers, architects, and clients. By positioning its latest collections within this context, B&T signals a direction that is outward-looking yet deeply personal, rooted in discovery, and guided by a clear design philosophy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With a presence in one of Europe\u2019s most influential design districts, B&T strengthens its global dialogue. The anniversary, the London launch, and the new designs together echo the brand\u2019s forward-looking ethos: celebrating the past not by standing still, but by continuing to move, boldly and creatively, into the future.<\/p>\n
