PAST

'The Residency' at Paul Smith

Béton Brut was proud to be ‘in residence’ at the Paul Smith London flagship shop in Mayfair.

With an official launch for London Design Festival in 2022, No. 9 Albemarle Street, became Béton Brut’s central showroom to showcase its collection of vintage furniture and artworks.

Curated by design dealer Sophie Pearce, Béton Brut evolved its monochrome palette and embraced colour, in direct response to Paul Smith’s signature vibrancy.

Located in the dedicated furniture and art space at Paul Smith’s Albemarle Street lower ground floor, the edit of works from the 18th to the 20th century was refreshed regularly. The selection included lighting, seating, desks, screens, sculptures and more, were hand-picked with the unique Mayfair space in mind.

The residency reflected Paul Smith’s lifelong appreciation for design and interiors.

@ 9 Albemarle St, London W1S 4BL. Until 31 January 2024.

David Horan 'Paper' collection

‘Paper’ is the inaugural furniture collection of London-based designer David Horan, exclusive to Béton Brut gallery. Informed by decoupage and the Japanese Mingei movement, Horan layers handmade paper over a series of original architectonic forms – seating, a screen, coffee table – in a new applied ‘vegan vellum’.

Benni Allan: Low Collection

Low Collection is a new series looking to question the various ways of sitting in cultures worldwide. These minimalist ‘sculptures’ echo sensual forms and suggest places to rest and interact.

Playing with scale and stature, London architect, Benni Allan arrives at new ‘floor culture’ or ‘Zazen’ for modern living.

23 May – 08 July 2022 @ 50 Vyner Street, London E2 9DQ

Here, we sit on liminal ground between art and function. Between the organic and rational. Curvilinear forms are extruded with precision. Or cleanly crosscut to reveal the quality of the end-grain.

Made from solid oak grown in the UK, Low also combines modern manufacture and traditional craftsmanship, each piece hand-finished by Allan.

Benni Allan is an architect, designer and maker. His practice EBBA intersects architecture and the visual arts, creating objects and spaces that explore materiality, construction, proportions and form.

Benni Allan for Béton Brut. Low Collection. Spring:Summer show at 50 Vyner.  

50 Vyner at London Design Festival 2021

18-26 September 2021 @ 50 Vyner Street, London E2 9DQ

Gavin Turk. 'TRANSIT'

Gavin Turk is one of Britain’s most renowned artists. In ‘Transit’ he presents a new series of etchings derived from the exhaust emissions of his white van.

Shown alongside ‘White Transit Van Compression’ – we see an icon of British culture reduced to a single abstract form: a crushed cuboid, a dark stain.

Proceeds from the exhibition will be shared with Creative Wick – helping the creative community thrive during rapid redevelopment and an uncertain future. We will also give a spotlight to local Hackney Wick artist Thomas Moore, who will present a series of etchings called ‘Exodus’.
