The Criss Cross collection of limited edition light fixtures best reflect Bethan Laura Wood's kaleidoscopic identity unfolding into designs rich in symbolic and material stratifications where color is always at the core of an aesthetic research exploring the balance between classical elegance and the seemingly effortless beauty of natural elements....READ MORE
The essential role of playing with an incredible variety of multicolored single units (Blooms wall/table light) to create potentially never-ending and multipurpose configurations (Kite chandelier), generate Bethan’s iconic as dreamy sculptural light objects which ultimately enact the deep bond they establish with each one of us' personality and needs.
Born in 1983, British designer Bethan Laura Wood studied Three-Dimensional Design at the University of Brighton, graduating with honors in 2006. She continued on to the Royal College of Art, where she studied Product Design under Jürgen Bey and Martino Gamper, graduating with a master’s degree in 2009.
While still a student, Wood began her own practice, called WOOD London. She creates a range of objects ranging from jewelry , furniture , and lighting to large-scale interventions and collaborations, often producing pieces in cooperation with local artisans. Her work is characterized by the re-contextualization of elements from everyday objects, often focusing on the pattern and coloration of objects as indicators of their origins, production, and past usage.
Notable projects include the glass lighting collection Totem (2011), the particleboard jewelry series Particle, and the Moon Rock tables (2011), which are put together like a jigsaw puzzle and inlaid with laser-cut plastic laminate pieces. Wood's constant sources of inspiration are the city she lives in and her fascination with the emotional impact created by layering varying shapes, colors, and textures.
