Convene, the US-founded premium meetings, events, and workspace company, has opened its first ever international location, Convene at 22 Bishopsgate.
Working closely with Convene’s in-house design team, Woods Bagot led an interior design that reflects Convene’s focus on amenity, hospitality, and experience, providing its users with an elevated offer, like that of a 5-star hotel. Taking into consideration the uniqueness of London, the design was influenced by the ‘Modern Livery’. Like the Livery companies of the City of London, Convene provides a platform for the creators and the innovators alike.
The finished design shows a mix of traditional architecture, the history of Bishopsgate and the modern cultural influence of local contemporary street artist Ben Eine, bringing together the old and new, the clean and decorative.
Shared amenity spaces provide opportunities for chance collaboration, while the large auditorium and meeting suite creates opportunities for large or small functions and events.
