Versatile by design: the 070 sofa at the
National Gallery in London
Space doesn’t limit creativity, it amplifies it. Kho Liang Ie's designs for open offices and flexible interiors continue to inspire modern workspaces and public interiors worldwide. The National Gallery’s Bar Giorgio Espresso Bar in London, completed in May 2025, showcases the versatility of Kho’s modular 070 sofas. Configured to create intimate seating clusters or open arrangements for social interaction, the 070 demonstrates how thoughtful modularity can meet both functional demands and aesthetic ambitions in high-traffic public spaces.
