Bethan Gray’s Shamsian Collection

Bethan Gray is launching new colours, finishes and materials for the Shamsian Collection of furniture, inspired by the Omani fort at Nizwa and traditional Dhow boats.

Bethan says: ‘Oman is an incredible place – the fort at Nizwa really captured my imagination. I love working with Omani craftspeople – their techniques are incredible. Reinterpreting what they do for a contemporary and global audience offers a rare opportunity to champion skilled craftsmanship.’

The new finishes will be shown at Decorex during this September’s London Design Festival. For more details on where to find us during the show, please visit the website or sign up to their newsletter.

“Expansion” is a story about Zieta Prozessdesign Studio’s development, processes and technologies, told through experiments, objects and sculptures that led to company’s evolution. The Plopp stool was just the beginning, which along with the FiDU technology contributed to the creation of many other projects: Chippensteel chairs and mirrors from Tafla and Rondo lines. Zieta Prozessdesign Studio will also present bionic G-Table and G-Console in various finishes, architecture-inspired J-Chair and sculptures that are an effect of the artistic vision based on studio’s technology. The first objects were either powder-painted or polished. Today their works are hand-crafted with high quality cattle leather, topped with the varieties of highest quality of stones and wood. Mirrors are covered with a special coating creating a phenomenal gradient on their surface. Zieta Prozessdesign Studio has developed a breakthrough technique of thermal coloring that uses high temperature to give the objects an amazing tint ranging from a beautiful golden color to an intense deep blue.

The exhibition will take place between 17-23 September.  The opening with Oskar Zieta will take place on the 17th of September, we look forward to seeing you there. Please RSVP to info@onandondesigns.com
