Three family-owned companies for the interior design sector – Egger, Cleaf and Blum – have joined together to create a London-based brand experience centre for architects, interior designers and specifiers.

Led by Egger, the space has been designed to provide a hub of creativity, design inspiration and material education.

Situated on Dallington Street in Clerkenwell, London, the interiors showroom is set to open its doors in Autumn, with a preview during Clerkenwell Design Week (May 21-23).

Global manufacturer of materials for the interior design, furniture and construction industries, Egger supplies decorative faced panels, lacquered panels, laminates, edging, worktops, decorative flooring and structural flooring.

Founded in 1961, Egger started producing chipboard from sawmill by-products, creating a market for this waste product and diverting it from landfill or biomass.

Now operating from 22 plants internationally, Egger materials are specified, fabricated, and installed worldwide in multiple sectors, including residential, hospitality, student accommodation, retail, education, healthcare and cruise ships.

Cleaf is an Italian company which produces surfaces for furniture and interiors and was founded in 1975 by Luciano Caspani, with father Agostino and brother Fausto.

Producing panels, laminates and edging, it is known for high-end products with texture design.

Manufactured at production sites in Brianza, Cleaf products are installed worldwide by architects and companies building spaces for living and working.

Building on a decades-long relationship between the owning families, Egger and Caspani, the two companies commenced joint projects in 2019 and the Egger family now owns 27.5% of Cleaf.

Completing the trio is global manufacturer of fittings and technical solutions for furniture and interiors Blum.

Founded in 1952 in Austria, it manufactures products including hinge systems, runners, lift systems and motion technologies across six countries.

There will be a soft launch during Clerkenwell Design Week with a new product display, series of talks and workshops, and networking events across the three-day festival.
