The SCIN Gallery is housed in a wonderful old warehouse style building in the heart of Clerkenwell, EC1 in the densest architectural community in the UK. Arranged over four floors with over 1,000 sq. ft. per floor we showcase products and architectural materials from all over the globe. We are an independent showroom, both informal and informed, which is invaluable to architects and designers. Materials experts are on hand in the basement library to advise and explain, Monday to Friday, and we encourage our visitors to rummage and explore our incredible collection of over 4,000 fascinating materials samples housed in orange boxes. We are an inspirational resource for architects and designers looking for uniquely designed and sustainable solutions for their projects. SCIN also acts as a hub for networking and meet up opportunities, the perfect venue for anything from a board meeting or think tank to a product launch or trend-forecasting day.

 

Opening in the first quarter of 2015, the Green Room will be located in the existing ground floor of the SCIN gallery in London’s design hub of Clerkenwell. This open access storefront location will welcome visitors (architects, designers, specifiers and students and the public) to investigate and research cutting edge materials in the resource centre; inviting them back to take part in a stimulating agenda of seminars, creative workshops, product launches and parties throughout each month of the year. It will be a lively, engaging and thought- provoking programme, uniquely focused on promoting sustainable design and construction.

 

Carefully Curated seeks and shares joyful things for everyday living for places and spaces for one or many people to eat, work, sleep, refresh and play.  

 

Carefully because I care about where things come from, how they were made and by whom. Curated because our space is a collection we each arrange.  Our spaces are a powerful reflection of who we are and our values.  Carefully Curated celebrates products with provenance from designers and makers, whether small or large scale, who have made things with honest form and function for us to enjoy for many years.  

 

Together, SCIN Gallery and Carefully Curated want to share stories of new materials, new manufacturing processes and new technologies that are innovative, engaging and better alternatives.  We want to bring you a wow factor, but perhaps not as you know it!
