Spacestor believes the future of the workplace is more than just a physical space - it's an experience, a destination – and one which promises to take visitors on a sensory and immersive journey. It was this belief that led Spacestor to reach out to the architectural firm, Gensler with a request; to create a showroom that isn’t a showroom, but a portal to the best of the best globally. 

“  
It’s not a showroom, it’s a portal into the global workplace at it’s best. Great location, great people, great space and great products as well! ”
- James Lawrence, Strategy Director at Gensler

As market innovators who understand the conceptual pillars on which workplace relies and can deliver these through providing architectural space defining furniture suited to each individual requirement, Spacestor’s London space is a showcase and consolidation of decades of industry experience. Fusing their heritage with the workplace future - a refreshed nucleus of discovery, exploration, experience, and energy is re-established in the heart of Clerkenwell!


Inside the space, the manufacturer’s products are shown in their best light as each modular and flexible unit works together to create a seamless and strongly defined aesthetic. The Landscape for Work brings together an inter-compatible, highly customizable system of micro-architecture that creates spaces within spaces, without building walls.

 


 


 


 


Spacestor showcases the reconfigurability of Aeonica year on year, creating spacious pantheons for larger meetings, framing all-hands areas for presentations or providing niches for focused work. In blush pink and rich burgundy, the product brings a soft, residential feel to the workplace-oriented floorplate.

Soft architecture becomes a consistent thread, as Verandas enters its third reconfiguration showcasing the different accessories and spaces that can be made with one configuration. This modular meeting room offers an alternative to building unsustainable and inflexible fixed meeting rooms and makes up the core transitional piece within the space.

'One of the key things, being a ground floor space, was trying to utilise as much of the outside presence that we could. Really making the space as visible as possible - visibly exciting from the outside to engage people' Emily Segal from Gensler explains. This was realised by a specially curated Palisades II configuration, running down the entire window face, framing collaborative spaces with colourful arches. The coloured grid expertly shows the Spacestor offering whilst bringing a light-hearted Californian Cool vibe to this vibrant area of the space. 


Earthier, deeper colours are used around the other perimeters of the space, with Spacestor's Portals Family of pods built-in as an integrated run as well as populating the centre of the space. In olive green and warm woodgrain, these pods and a storage and Hotlocker combination wall create a continuous datum line around the space establishing a reference point for the eye and allowing the simple architectural features to shine. 

 


 


 


 The new London location is on the ground floor of HB Reavis’ iconic red-clad Bloom Clerkenwell. Bloom Clerkenwell offers 145,000 sq ft of world-class work, amenity and retail space designed around the themes of wellbeing, sustainability, digital connectivity and flexibility. The building includes a fitness studio, barista concept lounge and landscaped terraces hosting inspiring views across the London skyline. Being WELL Certified Platinum (Core & Shell), BREEAM Outstanding, WiredScore Platinum and rated EPC A, it is the first commercial building in the UK to achieve the highest level of certifications.  

Through their new London Design Centre, Spacestor inspires visitors to rethink their workspace, encouraging them to create an environment which reflects their unique culture and personality. Sustainability, social responsibility, flexibility, personalisation, and individual autonomy are all explored as Spacestor continues to be a knowledge expert within the industry.
