Béton Brut, Unit 2, 30 Felstead Street, London E9 5LG, United Kingdom
About this story
The Masur Edition reissues four Marcel Breuer designs from 1936—the Cut-Out Armchair, Cut-Out Chair, Isokon Nesting Tables and Isokon Dining Table—with an outer veneer of rare Northern European masur birch. Isokon is producing the pieces in small batches at its East London workshop using specialist plywood techniques. The intervention changes only the outer veneer, preserving the forms and construction logic of Breuer's originals while introducing a highly graphic surface. Béton Brut is presenting and selling the collection exclusively alongside vintage furniture and new work by David Horan.
Status and timeline
On view September 12–20, 2026 during London Design Festival. Admission is free and no ticket is required.
