“Bethan Gray is a British design name on every clued-up aesthete’s radar”
FT How to Spend It, April 2013.Read more on Bethan
Bethan’s warm and contemporary designs reflect her personal history, strongly rooted to traditional Welsh culture and craft and inspired from everyday items that surround us all, to objects and buildings discovered whilst travelling the globe.
“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.
The versatile Collection can be tailored to specification and comes with lacquered marble and protected leather - ideal for residential and contract use.
Available directly, or from leading retailers such as Harrods, 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.
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.
A retail partnership that started as a six-month pop-up store to celebrate London Design Festival 2014 continues. A deconstructed Brogue Table formed the focus of the recent MADE WITH LOVE exhibition at Harrods. Bethan's classic Brogue table was exhibited in deconstructed elements, including raw forms of the naturals materials, by Harrods to support their public campaign to celebrate luxury craftsmanship across their most loved brands. This exhibition formed a perfect complement to the permanent Bethan Gray sales area located on the 3rd floor of Harrods.
Bethanʼs emphasis on using the highest-quality materials and Lapicidaʼs commitment to world-class manufacturing give perfect synergy to this exciting collaboration. 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.
Romantic in its curvaceous form the Ella collection has been designed by Bethan Gray to sit beautifully in both public and private spaces. The range is manufactured entirely in Great Britain and continues WorkHouse’s commitment to supporting local craftsmen whose great skill can be felt in the supreme comfort and cozy warmth of the timeless collection.
Bethan Gray Design has collaborated with Wallpaper* Handmade to create a series of tabletop products. The collection has been inspired by the spectacular black and white stone configurations found in historical buildings across Europe, from the ninth-century Amalfi Cathedral in Italy to the twentieth-century San Giovanni Battista in Mogno, Switzerland.
