Inspiration

Inspired by Bethan’s love of seashells, particularly the rolling ridges of a scallop shell, Shell’s design seductively wraps around to be both enveloping and intriguing.

Craft

Shell’s curves have been designed to accentuate the pattern and texture of the upholstery fabric, creating a playfulness between light and dark on the curve. Upholstery options include fabrics by Rosemary Hallgarten, Bethan’s digitally printed Inky Dhow leather by Bill Amberg, Liberty’s The Modern Collector selection of cottons, weaves and velvets, or customer’s own material.

Detail

Without compromising on comfort or longevity, emphasis has been placed on natural materials such as a solid hardwood frame, and internal components including felted and needled wool, feathers, coconut fibre, latex and minimal recycled foam.

Made to Measure

We are always happy to produce pieces to client specifications and can make changes to height, depth, width and internal composition on most collections. Colour variations can be developed on request and we can even create entirely bespoke furniture and homewares. Please contact the development team for further information and pricing.

Production Specifications

Bethan Gray Design collections are made using certified and responsibly sourced materials. If you have a specific requirement such as testing for flame retardancy or FSC timber certification, please do not hesitate to get in touch and these can be arranged on request.

Care Instructions

Bethan Gray Design collections are handcrafted using the highest quality materials with naturally occurring variations making each piece unique. Grain variation is an inherent characteristic of wood and its colour will change over time. Likewise, natural veneers and solid metal finishes age beautifully, creating a unique patina that is one of the joys of these natural finishes. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, avoiding detergent, polish or waxed-based cleaning products. In the event of a spillage, use a clean, dry cloth rather than anything abrasive. The cabinetry collection features untreated solid brass feet and rails, which will naturally fade to a matt patina. Should you wish to maintain a more luminous finish, we recommend polishing brass elements with ‘Brasso’. If you have any questions or would like more detailed care advice, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our sales team.

Production Lead Times

Bethan Gray Design collections are handmade by master craftsmen, so please allow a six-week lead time for pieces from the collection and eight weeks for bespoke requests.

Shipping

We deliver to Europe and North America from our London hub, while deliveries to Asia and the Gulf region are shipped directly from our workshop in Muscat, Oman. (Collection can also be arranged from both locations – please contact our fulfilment team for details.) Each piece will be individually packaged, and our trusted logistic partners offer a superb service. On arrival, you can choose curbside delivery or a white glove service which includes installation in the room of choice and the removal of crates and other packaging. Shipping times vary according to location, but pieces can be air freighted more quickly for time sensitive projects.
