Bethan Laura Wood's Ornate exhibition features furniture informed by boudoirs
British designer Bethan Laura Wood has unveiled Ornate, an exhibition of furniture that seeks to reclaim ideas of femininity, at the Nilufar Gallery as part of Milan design week.
The exhibition features both existing and new pieces by Wood, as well as historical works chosen by Nilufar's gallerist Nina Yashar.

The Ornate collection of decorative furniture aims to chart a decade of creative collaboration between Wood and Yashar through the lens of the boudoir ? the traditional term for a woman's bedroom or private interior space.
New pieces by Wood include her Meisen cabinets and desk crafted from rippled sheets of handpicked ALPI veneer, which take cues from Meisen kimonos. Also featured is Bon Bon, a pyrex coloured glass lamp arranged like an abstract bunch of flowers. Two curvy Meisen cabinets are on display in the exhibition
Thinking back on her work with Yashar was what led Wood to create a furniture collection that references a woman's bedroom.
"It was when I started to properly think about all these pieces that Nina and I had been talking and thinking about over the last two years," Wood told Dezeen.
"I was really looking at the placement of objects again and it dawned on me that what we were making was a woman's room, and it's a room made by women together."
The Bon Bon chandelier was informed by sweet jars and designed to echo flowers...
