As part of the company’s reboot of its European, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) division, the U.K. market will now be supported directly out of London.



Stellar Works, the Japanese-owned hospitality furniture brand, is pleased to announce the appointment of Deniz Albayrak as Head of Sales for its U.K. team. Deniz, who joins Stellar Works after 14 years at Turkish manufacturer Parla, brings extensive experience in working with design-led brands and hospitality clients. Based in London, Deniz will oversee both Stellar Works' standard Collections and Bespoke, the company’s customised hospitality furniture division, ensuring dedicated and responsive service for partners across the U.K.

“Reestablishing our U.K. operations underscores the U.K. market's – especially London's – importance to the global hospitality industry. After supporting this market with our U.S. and EU teams, it is now wonderful to be back in the U.K., aiding our clients in this key region,” says Andrew Yang, Chief Growth Officer of Stellar Works. “With Deniz leading our efforts, we look forward to strengthening our relationships across the U.K. design and hospitality sectors.

“I’m excited to help reintroduce Stellar Works to the U.K., a market that has long been a global hub for design and hospitality,” says Deniz Albayrak, Head of Sales, U.K. “Strengthening our presence here allows us to better support clients both locally and internationally, and I look forward to building meaningful partnerships across the region.” Deniz will work closely with Chief Growth Officer Andrew Yang and provide additional reporting to the company’s CEO, Daisuke Hironaka.

The appointment of Albayrak signifies a renewed emphasis on local service, enhanced project coordination, and deeper involvement with the U.K.’s dynamic architecture and design community. Building on Stellar Works’ successful track record in London, including projects such as The Londoner Hotel, The Peninsula London, and The Coal Shed, this increased presence also supports the brand’s plans for a future London showroom. Collectively, these developments ensure that U.K. partners benefit from more efficient communication, closer collaboration, and a truly local connection to Stellar Works’ global expertise.
