The collection translates Lozi’s small-space bespoke cabinetry into a standardized, made-to-order system combining wardrobes, work surfaces, concealed sleeping space and storage. Its attempt to bridge fitted joinery and ready-made furniture is editorially relevant to compact urban living, while the September 15 press preview and unresolved embargo conflict require immediate attention.

Opening during London Design Festival this weekend, the limited collection offers a materially focused reassessment of Breuer's Isokon furniture and challenges the familiar idea that Modernist plywood should remain visually unadorned.

Béton Brut, Unit 2, 30 Felstead Street, London E9 5LG, United Kingdom
Organizations
Isokon — Manufacturer; Béton Brut — Collaborating gallery, presenter and exclusive retailer; Marcel Breuer — Original designer of the four 1936 furniture pieces; London Design Festival — Festival platform
The collaboration is a substantive example of architectural heritage being translated into commercial furniture and lighting rather than reproduced as surface branding alone. Its use of original layouts and Miriam Howitt’s show-flat work offers a timely entry point into the often-overlooked interior history of the Barbican.
