Crafty Past of London's East End Inspires Norton Folgate Offices
Universal Design Studio has collaborated with weavers, enamelers, and other makers to decorate workspaces within the Norton Folgate development in Spitalfields, east London.
The Norton Folgate development is a 330,000 square foot mixed-use site, comprising six buildings, with three interiors curated by Universal Design Studio: 16 Blossom Street, Nicholls & Clarke, and 15 Norton Folgate.
The buildings, dating back to the Georgian or Victorian period, are situated on the fringes of Spitalfields, an area that has attracted craftspeople since the 17th century, when it became a hub of the textiles industry.
The studio celebrates this history by incorporating contemporary makers into its design scheme.
