Benchmark
- Venue: British Collection
- Product categories: Contract Furniture | Residential Furniture | Workplace Furniture |
Benchmark’s exhibition aims to spark curiosity and foster dialogue around how solid timber and circular design can create enduring furniture, inviting visitors to collaborate, share ideas, and explore forward-thinking approaches to design and making.
Under the theme “More Life – Form Follows”, Benchmark will demonstrate how longevity shapes every design decision. Each piece will highlight careful consideration of materials, making, and future use, showing how solid timber and circular design principles allow their furniture to be reused, refurbished, and reconfigured over time.
Building on these principles, Benchmark will showcase its Pilot Digital Product Passport, an innovation in product stewardship and unveil the FYN Collection by Foster + Partners, a freestanding modular system which can be scaled, reconfigured, and easily disassembled for repair or replacement - demonstrating furniture built for retention and reuse.
The exhibition will include discussions and workshops on designing for disassembly, reconfiguration, and the practical application of Product Passports, giving visitors insight into how furniture can continue to evolve alongside changing needs.
Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th 3pm: Making Furniture and Spaces that Last
An interactive workshop exploring designing for longevity through reconfiguration. From furniture to joinery, we’ll discuss practical strategies that allow pieces and spaces to adapt, evolve, and remain useful over time. This session is discussion-led and hands-on, giving participants the chance to share ideas, explore approaches, and learn from real-world examples.
Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st 11am: Digital Product Passports
Explore how this innovation tracks provenance, carbon impact, care guidance, and replacement pathways for each piece of furniture. Learn how thoughtful design and digital tools enable furniture to be maintained, upgraded, and reimagined over its lifespan, and see how this approach supports circular design in practice.
