British designer Bethan Laura Wood unveiled her furniture exhibition at Nilufar Gallery as a part of Milan Design Week 2021.
The exhibition seeks to explore ideas of femininity through a curated series of artwork and furniture pieces. The collection is called Ornate and features highly decorative furniture pieces that mark the artistic collaboration between Wood's furniture and gallerist Nina Yashar.
The exhibition recreates a boudoir scene - traditionally known as the woman's private interior space. The boudoir is finished with Meisen cabinets crafted from handpicked ALPI veneer. The furniture is bright and bold yet soft and ornate. Pieces like the Bon Bon chandelier lend a rather eclectic feel to the exhibition. The Ornate collection blends tradition with modernity in a way that redefines the traditional boudoir experience.
