THE SURFACE WITHIN – THE LONDON HOME OF MINOLI
THE CAPITAL CONNECTION
Minoli have always had strong links with London through the company’s heritage and our relationships with clients and distribution partners based in and around the capital.
The company was in fact founded in London by Luigi Minoli in the 1940s, initially producing and installing Terrazzo from premises in Islington and, though later relocating to Oxford, we’ve always recognised the importance of servicing the vibrant and expanding market that the capital provides.
Now, some 50 years hence, we’re returning to our roots and opening a brand new London showroom, called The Surface Within, at 71-73 George Street W1.
THE PLACE
George Street runs north of and parallel to Oxford Street. Ideally located for ease of access from Mayfair, Marylebone and Marble Arch, we hope our clients will be drawn to visit us, as well as making the most of the fabulous amenities that our surrounding neighbourhood has to offer.
The row of terraced shops and housing, in which our new showroom resides, was built around 1800 and is associated with the Portman Estate, Gloucester Place development.
Grade 2 listed and with English Heritage certification, having only been cosmetically refurbished since construction, the façade of No 71 still retains ornamental stone carvings depicting 4 lions along the frontage, perhaps the mark of the builder or owner of the development at the time.
THE SPACE
Despite the historical references, the concept of The Surface Within is that of a state-of-the-art ‘resource centre’ for all our clients and distribution partners. This stunning new venue offers a comprehensive showcase of all of our latest products and convenient access to the Minoli team for advice and information about the right surface solution for you.
In designing the space, we’ve thought carefully about our clients’ needs and created four main areas, each with a specific focus on providing an excellent Minoli customer experience, whatever you reason for visiting.
