ABOUT
HUBER is a contemporary gallery with offices in London and Kyoto and its first physical gallery location in Brighton, UK.
The gallery exhibits, showcases and sells a carefully curated range of historical and contemporary fine and applied arts, design, fashion, engineering, music, literature…
In addition to the programme of exhibitions, the gallery has an ever-evolving collection of items for sale. The inventory is showcased online and can be viewed in the gallery. To view specific items, please contact us in advance as only a small selection of our inventory is on show in the gallery at any one time.
The gallery has a café – Lazy Bird – named after John Coltrane’s composition that first appeared on his 1958 album Blue Train. This is our jazz kissa, and is based quite closely on, but a modernisation of, the idea of the Japanese jazz kissa analogue audio listening café/bar.
The cafe is where all the action takes place. Day-to-day it is the meeting place, show space, and listening room, serving the finest Japanese teas, our house blend slow drip filter coffee, and a small selection of Japanese food, cakes, pastries and treats. It is also the gallery, showing a small, curated cross-section of our current inventory, as well as the gallery shop, with regular stock (everything from Japanese stationary to Ortofon SPU record player headshells).
For exhibitions, the space will be (mostly) cleared and turned into the gallery proper.
As part of our gallery work, we run a creative studio to undertake various curatorial and design projects, with larger-scale architectural work moving to our connected architecture and design studio Huber Architects.
HUBER has an extensive permanent archival collection of reference material, literature and rare, unique and prototype items, from all areas of our interests. This is key to our research and museum consultancy work, and forms the backbone of our developing education programme.
