DESIGNING FOR NEURODIVERSITY We were delighted to welcome guest speaker May Fawzy to the Workbench showroom   for an insightful seminar on  Designing for Neurodiversity . May is the Founder and Director of MF Design Studio, President of the British Institute of Interior Design, and a Board Member of the European Council of Interior Architects. With her wealth of experience and leadership in the field, she shared thought-provoking insights on how interior design can evolve to better support neurodiverse individuals. While human-centred design has always been a core principle in our industry, designing with neurodiversity in mind is an emerging and essential movement. May explored the challenges and opportunities this presents, supported by compelling research highlighting the significant benefits - both social and commercial - of inclusive design practices. She concluded with practical, actionable strategies that interior designers can implement—small changes that, guided by empathy and awareness, can make a big impact. We are grateful to May for her powerful presentation and look forward to welcoming her back to the showroom for CDW 2026.

EMERGING MATERIAL TRENDS Day One of Clerkenwell Design Week at Workbench  kicked off with a fantastic start as we welcomed internationally renowned materials expert and author  Chris Lefteri  to our showroom for an inspiring breakfast talk on Emerging Material Trends . With an impressive portfolio that includes collaborations with Google, Amazon, and Speedo, Chris is one of the leading voices in forecasting material trends, exploring future applications, and critically evaluating sustainability beyond the buzzwords. Chris unveiled a brand-new seminar exploring emerging material trends - highlighting shifts in form, texture, and colour. He also led a thought-provoking discussion on the role of  AI in design,  not from the usual "Will it replace designers?" angle, but through a more nuanced lens: how AI is shaping our  aesthetic preferences , influencing  design language , and subtly steering our emotional response to materials and colours. This fresh take on AI’s impact was both enlightening and timely - reminding us that the way we interpret and engage with design is evolving just as rapidly as the technology behind it. We were thrilled to host such an insightful session and are already looking forward to welcoming Chris back next year! You can find out more about Chris at https://www.chrislefteri.com

Reed Smith is an international Law firm with 30 offices globally. The new London headquarters at Blossom Yard covers 126,000 sq.ft. across both new development and converted historic warehousing, a mixed-use development completed by British Land comprising restaurants, retail and offices, providing the geographical convenience of a City address with the dynamism of London’s creative and cultural centres. Working alongside The Furniture Practice, Workbench were asked to interpret TP Bennett design intent and devise a package of meeting tables covering the Client hospitality suite in the Blossom Studios as well as the practice floor meeting rooms and multi-purpose rooms. Discretely concealed at the heart of the development, Blossom Studio is purpose built medium rise, housing the Practice Floors for Reed Smith. With a balanced combination of open plan communal spaces, practice workspaces and meeting rooms, a rich palette of materials and finishes emerges throughout. The sensitively restored Blossom Studio houses the client hospitality areas for the practice. Complete with Victorian era industrial infrastructure, exposed brick walls and listed timber flooring, the meeting room furniture was detailed to sit comfortably in the historic industrial setting. Robust, chamfered edge profiles and Caesarstone concrete finishes create a seamless transition between the historic building and contemporary meeting room setting. An enhanced suite of power, data and audio connections were incorporated into the tables. At the heart of the communal spaces are the multi-purpose rooms, which required highly flexible furniture capable of multiple configurations and easy adaptation. The Blade flip table provided the perfect design solution, with the minimal silhouette and industrial detailing complimenting the interior perfectly. Specified in a variety of tabletop finishes, from Arpa Industriale to Egger, across different floors the table provides a robust and hardworking backbone to enhance the facilities offer. The meeting rooms on the practice floors were furnished with tables in warm timber tones and a contrast Fenix inlay. The elegant drum bases were engineered to provide maximum ergonomic comfort without compromising AV capabilities, ensuring all aspects of user requirement were honed and efficient. TP Bennett’s embrace of the building’s history and the tactile material palette developed by the Workbench team worked in harmony to create a series of hospitality focused spaces far removed from a traditional legal office. A refreshing re-focus, and a possible insight into future commercial interior spaces.  You can see the Workbench Collections at our London Showroom, First Floor, 3 Sutton Lane, London, EC1M 5PU.

Caesarstone is an excellent alternative to natural stone for corporate tabletops due to its superior consistency and durability. Unlike natural stone, Caesarstone offers a uniform appearance, ensuring a consistent look across multiple tabletops. This is particularly important in corporate settings where a cohesive aesthetic is desired. Additionally, Caesarstone is engineered for durability, resisting scratches, stains, and being more stable than many natural stones. Its hard wearing surface also makes it easier to clean and maintain, ensuring a long-lasting, professional look with minimal upkeep in busy corporate environments. It was the material choice of Goodwin Proctor and TP Bennett for the client meeting and boardroom tables on this project.
