Housed in a multi-level Brutalist estate, Benk&Bo is part cafe, co-working and event space, drawing inspiration from Norwegian words for ‘workbench’ and ‘a place to live.’

The reimagined cafe and workspace interior features retro Italian, German and French vintage mid-century furniture pieces, complemented with modern artwork by local emerging artists. The main floor lounge inspires connection, while an off-site Barbican library of art and design books sparks conversation.
