An interest in sustainable design has led Rose to think about repairing and painting unloved furniture she has selected from her travels, from the antique shops of Brussels to the stores at Portmeirion Village. These handcrafted pieces, refreshed with Rose’s artistic additions, are made to be cherished as future heirlooms.
William Morris pioneered the ethos that Rose’s grandmother Susan Williams-Ellis continued with her pottery - that beauty and art should be intertwined with the habited space. Rose is interested to blur the lines between fine and decorative arts, re-working her paintings as fabrics, to broaden the use of this collection.
The goal of this body of work is to create functional art pieces that will be passed down within families or friendships.
