“Bethan Gray is a British design name on every clued-up aesthete’s radar”

Cultural referencing, drawing on contemporary and classical craft traditions of the East and West, is at the heart of Bethan Gray’s design philosophy.
“Bethan Gray has a bright future - she has an exquisite appreciation of the materials that she works with and a fine attention to detail” Sir Terence Conran, The Times, June 2012.
Bethan’s exquisite collection, handmade in London, embodies her signature style - a love of detail, tactile textures and luxurious natural materials.
Available directly, or from leading retailers such as Harrods, Liberty, Le Bon Marche, Kravet, Lane Crawford and Halo Gallery.

As part of her exhibition at DesignJunction, Bethan is delighted to introduce Mohamad Reza Shamsian, a highly sought after, masterful Iranian artist, to the contemporary design world.
Shamsian had been searching for the perfect designer to translate his ancient, traditional craft into modern and contemporary designs. When he came across the award-winning Bethan Gray, he was immediately drawn to her highly original style and her deep empathy for Islamic art and craft.
Bethan was delighted to collaborate with Editions Milano to create a hand crafted marble tea set - consisting of a teapot, a milk jug, a sugar bowl, a cake stand, teacup & saucer and a dessert plate.
The collection features a relief pattern, hand-carved from Arabescato marble by Italian master craftsmen. This fine edging and the use of elegant shape adds a delicacy to the marble pieces, just as fine as the ceramics found at the V&A. Brushed brass is also used to add lustre and warmth.
Bethan is delighted to announce she will be launching her first wallpaper collection in collaboration with NLXL, the pioneers of digital wallpaper. The NLXL LAB 3 features “bright ideas by brilliant designers”.
The collection will launch during this year’s Salone del Mobile (April 4th – 9th 2017) at Rossana Orlandi, Via Matteo Bandello, 14/16, 20123 Milano, Italy.
The seeds of The Ruby Tree were planted when Mitchell Abdul Karim Crites saw award winning British designer Bethan Gray’s remarkable ‘Black & White Stripes Collection’. As a renowned Islamic arts scholar known for his revival of traditional Islamic crafts, he was struck by the harmony and intricacy of the patterns, so much a hallmark of the finest Islamic art.
Bethan was delighted to have been invited to design a café for Ambiente in Frankfurt, the world’s largest trade fair for interior products.
With dyed Italian veneer, marquetry and solid brass inlay applied by master craftsmen, the café featured exquisite pieces available through the remarkable Shamsian Collection, in collaboration with renowned artist Shamsian himself.
For this year’s London Design Festival, London department store Harrods has created the ‘House of Design’ exhibition, a scaled-down Knightsbridge neighbourhood, made up of tiny townhouses. Bethan has used her townhouse to showcase the marquetry, brass and ombre staining techniques which have become so synonymous with her style

Lapicida source the worldʼs best marble producing luxury contemporary and antique reclaimed stone tiles. With the introduction of Europeʼs largest stone shaping mill to their headquarters, Lapicida are uniquely positioned to combine high quality craftsmanship with the latest cutting-edge technologies.
