TIMELESS DESIGN

STEP INTO SPACE FURNITURE’S showroom and you’ll be greeted by an eclectic collection of contemporary home furnishing spanning prestigious brands such as Baxter, B&B Italia and Kartell. The selection is wide, but the pieces share a common characteristic: timelessness.

Perhaps a core virtue instilled from his previous profession as a watchmaker, Leighton Clarke, CEO of Space Furniture, is a staunch advocate for timeless design. Having contributed to two of the retailer’s three decades in business, Clarke has led a project towards carbon neutrality by working with eco-friendly manufacturers and designers.
