Kaleidoscope-o-rama – Salon chairsTravelling Bluestockings2024

Allowing the book matching of the bespoke Alpi Wood Veneers to lead the form, Bethan has created a pair of hexagonal lounge chairs , whose back engulfs you between its open pages – like diving into a good book – one finds themselves embraced into the Kaleidoscope-o-rama world .

Developed for the first of Bethan’s Bluestocking Travelling Salons in Milan, the two lounges are positioned ready for the next conversation as around the theme of Mother Tongue for their UK debut .

They are made to be viewed from all sides , and if you are stuck for conversation starters let your imagination run wild with the faces, animals and other worldly creatures that the intricately patterned veneers evoke.

Fabrication: ALPI lignum wood veneer, composite boards (poplar plywood and MDF), varnish, steel and brass
