BETHAN LAURA WOOD -- STAIN

Bethan Laura Wood recently graduated from the graduate 3-D design program at Brighton University and continues to pursue her own designs in London. Wood's Stain tea cups were quite the gem at 100% East, during this year's London Design Festival. Most teacups accumulate undesirable tea stains over time, devaluing their integrity and worth. The Stain cups, however, improve through use thanks to an innovative graphic surface treatment. Patterns applied on the inside surface are nearly invisible when brand new. As more and more tea is consumed from the cups, the pattern darkens and becomes a prominent design element.
