We’re proud to invite you to The Old Trading House, our new flagship London showroom located on Northburgh Street in the heart of Clerkenwell.<\/p>\n

A powerful showcase of NaughtOne\u2019s sector-spanning portfolio and an inspiring workspace for specifiers, this handsome Victorian warehouse building houses our biggest ever showroom. It upends convention by including not only a floor dedicated to showing products in typical commercial settings, but also a CMF workshop and product lending library which are designed specifically for client use. Specifiers from the architect and design community can see, feel and try NaughtOne\u2019s distinctive portfolio first hand whilst also exploring the diverse specification and finish choices in their own workspace.<\/p>\n

Managing Director, Nadean McNaught explains:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Old Trading House is designed to be a space that specifiers visit because they know it will help them find solutions to their design problems. That\u2019s why in addition to a large showroom, we\u2019ve designed in a studio for creatives. They can find inspiration from the settings, then explore the colour, material and finish solutions that work for their project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Global Sales Director, Chris Hagan, adds:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m particularly excited about the opportunities to use the space for seminars and workshops that educate and inform our clients. Today, a showroom is so much more than a space to show products – it\u2019s somewhere for people to meet, work, talk, create, play and socialise. We can\u2019t wait to welcome the design community to our new home that we hope will become a home for them too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Old Trading House follows the opening of NaughtOne\u2019s new global headquarters in its home county, Yorkshire, in January. Both spaces were designed by a team led by NaughtOne Creative Director, Stephen Floyd. Stephen says:<\/p>\n

\u201cDesign is a really personal industry – you work with people that you trust and like. NaughtOne\u2019s old showroom in Baker\u2019s Yard was known for its welcome, so we wanted to keep that essence. We built a coffee bar where guests can touchdown, get comfy and talk about what they want to get from the visit. We used dramatic focus lighting like a gallery, but accented that with decorative lamps. The colour palette is sophisticated and mature but we\u2019ve cut it with bright pops of colour. All these choices challenge conventional ideas about what offices and other commercial spaces should be and they create a feeling of belonging – a warmth that is more like home. That\u2019s the essence of NaughtOne.\u201d<\/p>\n

What can I do next?<\/h4>\n
