9.19.14 | New York, NY | Bisley, the leading international furniture brand, specialising in steel storage, will open the doors to its new Showroom in the dynamic Flatiron district of New York, from the 29th September to the 2nd October (inclusive). The first two days will be dedicated to introducing the space to the essential dealer network and the latter to the vibrant architectural and design community.

The showroom signifies the next evolution for Bisley in the US market, strategically positioning this well known UK brand and its extensive range of furniture solutions, as a major player in the Contract, Architectural and Design sectors in the North American market.

The showroom launch is indicative of Bisley’s absolute commitment to fully integrating into this sector, combined with the appointment of Sara Olsson from Bisley UK, as the A&D Manager to enthuse and educate the market about Bisley’s rich heritage and product range.

Bisley has enjoyed success in the American market, largely in the consumer sector, most recently validated by the inclusion of the ubiquitous MultiDrawer designed by Frederick Charles Brown (1958) in the prestigious MoMA catalogue, their online website and in their stores.

The showroom will comprise a number of Bisley’s classic range, along with its latest furniture solutions range “Be by Bisley’ and other definitive product including LateralFile, Pedestals and lockers.

Garth Fielding, Managing Director of North America comments: “This is a hugely exciting time for Bisley, it is a highly respected brand in the UK and beyond and I am looking forward to replicating that success in the American marketplace. We are delighted to have had Be by Bisley specified on a major project in Washington DC with Gensler’s Firmwide Design Director, Cushman Wakefield and Jones Lang Lasalle which is a great start. This, in conjunction with increased interest in the Manhattan dealer and design community, and the addition of strong, local representation in the Washington DC and Boston territories is helping to create positive buzz and projects.“
