Bethan Laura Wood

Bethan Laura Wood has run a multidisciplinary studio since 2009, characterised by materials investigation, artisan collaboration and a passion for colour and detail. Residencies and location-based projects shape her process: she often works in response to her travels, collaborating with local manufacturers on pieces that reflect the visual and material culture of a place.

A collector herself, she asks what makes someone keep one object and discard another, and how those relationships can become cultural conduits, with an interest in sustainability within mass consumption. She took an MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art under Jurgen Bey and Martino Gamper, has worked with Nilufar Gallery since 2011, and collaborates with Alpi, Bitossi, Cassina, Dior, Kvadrat and Serapian.
