BGR-06, Pearl Metallic Nizwa by Bethan Gray

Overview
Bethan, winner of the Best British Design Award 2013/14 has an extraordinary background. Her family hails from an ancient Rajasthani clan that over centuries migrated across Arabia and Persia before settling in the Celtic heartland of Wales. It’s a journey and heritage that weaves a rich pattern of influences and inspirations, which draw on craft traditions of both East and West.

To this Bethan adds an innate ability to translate and transform a variety of cultural references into iconic contemporary pieces.

“Cultural referencing is at heart of my design philosophy. Through my travels and research I’m inspired to create original contemporary pieces that resonate with global, as well as local, audiences. I’m particularly drawn to the graphic nature of art and craft”

Bethan works extensively on supporting the revival of traditional Art and Craft through Turquoise Mountain, a charity founded by HRH Prince Charles, as well as by direct collaboration with master craftsmen on exquisite commissions and collections.
