British Art & Design showcase for the Olympic games - The British Business Embassy that was held at Lancaster House in The Mall. The BBE was a unique event that was hosted by UK Trade & Industry (UKTI) during the Olympic & Paralympic Games and we were delighted to be a part of it.

We’re proud to say that two of our Finsbury sofas upholstered in Camira Blazer featured in the State Dining Room amidstgood company in the form of the Matador Chair by Terrance Conran and a Damien Hirst artwork.
