The project centers around a paravent made of three interlocking screens, featuring Serapian’s iconic Mosaico motif and Wood’s exquisite flair for color and composition, resulting in an extraordinary object that weaves together design and craft.
Drawn to Mosaic, the weaving technique characteristic of Serapian artisans and shaded printing technique in recent Serapian collections. Along with the mountainous origins of many of the 2025 Double Signature artisans Bethan was reminded of the delicate colour transitions found in Japanese woodblock landscapes. These layered tones, where two inks blend with the natural shade of the paper, evoke the soft light of dawn or dusk and create a sense of depth and distance. Bethan aims to translate this effect from 2D to
3D, designing an interlocking mountain landscape that acts as both a partition and a display unit. structure seamlessly weaves together customised
shades of colour, recreating the ever-changing light on the mountains, where moving clouds cast shadows and sparkling lights dance on rugged surfaces
