{"title":"Bethan Laura Wood","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nBethan 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 have become an important factor in her design process, often working in response to her location, in collaboration with local manufacturers, or reflecting back into her work the visual and material culture particular to that area. Bethan is fascinated by the connections we make with the everyday objects that surround us and, as a collector herself, likes to explore what drives people to hold onto one particular object while discarding another. Bethan explores these relationships and questions how they might become cultural conduits. She is interested in critical approaches to achieving sustainability within mass consumption and the production-driven context of the design industry. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBethan Laura Wood obtained a MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art, under the tuition of Jurgen Bey and Martino Gamper.

In this process, we collaborated with Venini to create fruit bowls and vases. The lacquered brass structure is affixed with decorative glass, and each tile is cast on a metal molding machine and painted with two overlapping colors from the Venini Archive, giving it a special color combination. Optionally, place blown glass vases in tiger eye or horizon blue within the structure to provide more color to the room and make it easy to fill with flowers.\n\n search term hashtags: Cassina, COLOURDISC, Bethan Laura Wood, glass bowl, contemporary design, Venini collaboration, Murano glass, Britsh Design, fruit bowl, vase\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cassina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53026994225516,"sku":"Cassina : https:\/\/www.cassina.com\/ww\/en\/products\/colourdisc.html","price":2491.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Basso (ø30cm, h.24cm)","offer_id":53809526341996,"sku":"Cassina : https:\/\/www.cassina.com\/ww\/en\/products\/colourdisc.html","price":2491.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/9313\/4444\/files\/plp-colourdisc.jpg?v=1766983223"}],"url":"https:\/\/trdst.us\/collections\/bethan-laura-wood.oembed","provider":"TRDST.US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
