Pickle Tower1882 Ltd2025

For Design Miami 2025, Bethan Laura Wood and 1882 Ltd are set to unveil Pickle Tower, an avant-garde sculpture emanating with vigor from the Disco Gourds lineage. Each constituent is animated through the heritage art of slip lining—a craftsmanship practice steeped in centuries of tradition and demanding decades of discipline to master. In this oeuvre, every line is intricately hand-drawn and infused with resplendent colour, engendering complex patterns that resonate with movement, rhythm, and organic vitality. This creation epitomizes the confluence of technical heritage expertise and audacious contemporary design, inviting contemplation of the multi-layered symbolism and enduring craftsmanship that resonate deeply with cultural heritage.
