The Meisen collection is informed by an unusual combination of crickets, beetles, and kimonos. While it takes inspiration from otherwise unlikely items, the furniture pieces in the range boast a balanced modern design. British designer Bethan Laura Woods is the brainpower behind the items.
The Meisen Collection was presented as a solo show titled Ornate for the Nilufar Gallery in Los Angeles. It consists of three objects. Wood designed the range in collaboration with ALPI, a leader in the production of decorative surfaces. By blending colors, geometries, and visual metaphors, the pair created the Meison cabinets and a vibrantly colored desk. All items in the collection feature an Ikat pattern inspired by Meisen fabric which characterizes Japanese kimonos.
