Bethan Gray is excited to announce her first lighting collection designed for John Lewis. The clean and contemporary lines of the Noah collection can now be found in a range of lighting products that Bethan has developed exclusively for the John Lewis Design Collective.
A perfect complement to Bethanʼs Noah dining and bedroom ranges, and made from high quality solid oak and natural linen shades, the Noah light is available in table lamp, floor lamp, or pendant options that combine style and functionality and exude a welcoming atmosphere into the home.
The Noah collection was launched in 2011 and is one of John Lewisʼ best-selling dining and bedroom furniture ranges. The on-going collaboration with John Lewis reaffirms Bethanʼs long-standing commitment to creating timeless and beautiful products and the perfect synergy her creations have with Britainʼs best-loved retailer.
Bethan says, “The pared-back simplicity of Noah lighting, using high quality materials and highlighting craftsmanship, resonate particularly with how I love to design. The design itself is associated with longevity and understated luxury.”
The decision to enhance the Noah range with a collection of lights is a natural progression for Bethan, whose long-held passion for lighting is reflected in her own personal collection of antique lamps.
In addition to the launch of the Noah light, and to celebrate the first anniversary of the John Lewis Design Collective, Bethan has also updated the Noah dining range.
Such is her inimitable creative force within the British design industry, Bethan Gray has recently prompted Sir Terence Conran to highlight her as “one to watch” for her “exquisite appreciation of materials” and “fine attention to detail”.
She launched the G&T collection to great acclaim last year and continues to work passionately on a variety of projects.

Threefold Architects’ design for Foxbourne Road involves the renovation and extension of the ground floor of an existing Victorian terraced family house in South London. The brief called for the renovation and re-organisation of the existing ground floor as well as for the creation of new space to create a sequence of family rooms: a kitchen, dining, and living areas, as well as a large study.
Threefold Architects responded with a design that transforms and extends the previously cellular and dark ground floor into a series of connected, spacious, and light filled spaces. The kitchen is characterised by elegant tilted ceiling lights, allowing light to reflect off the white surfaces.
