Aimée Betts

Focus on Aimee Betts Aimee Betts creates textile-led furniture and interior objects that translate historical knotting and embroidery techniques into contemporary forms. Working across cabinetry, mirrors, lighting, and soft furnishings, her practice explores how traditional textile processes can move beyond the flat surface and inhabit sculptural, architectural objects. Leather cords are woven, looped, and knotted around ceramic, timber, and tubular structures, creating tactile compositions that balance precision with softness. What interests us in Aimee’s work is the way ornament becomes structural. Techniques historically associated with domestic craft are transformed into bold contemporary surfaces, where material, colour, and rhythm work together to shape the object itself. Through careful repetition and an intuitive understanding of texture, each piece becomes a quiet conversation between heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design. #AimeeBetts #AtelierSeventySix #ContemporaryCraft #TextileDesign #FurnitureDesign #MaterialDialogue #LeatherCraft #ContemporaryInteriors #Craftsmanship #BritishDesign #DecorativeArts #TextileArt #HandmadeDesign What interests us is the tension between control and unpredictability within the work. Each piece resists standardisation, instead celebrating individuality, tactility, and the visible traces of transformation. The objects become records of process, where material behaviour and craftsmanship remain inseparable. #RichardGoldsworthy #AtelierSeventySix #ContemporaryCraft #Woodworking #PewterCasting #MaterialTransformation #FunctionalSculpture #BritishCraft #Craftsmanship #SculpturalObjects #WoodAndMetal #MaterialDialogue #HandmadeDesign 📸@alick.co.uk @aimeebetts

Meet the new Ricasso Barrel Lamp · Short — the last of our recent table lamps to launch and a compact addition to the Barrel family. Small but solid at 5.5kg, this one definitely holds its own. We’ve refined the details: Scottish oxblood leather for the braided section, a hand-turned oak base, paired with an Irish linen shade, fitted with a diffuser and dimmer switch to soften LED light. A sturdy little lamp with plenty of character. All of our pieces are made to order, with a range of custom options available.

Say hello to the new Orb Table Lamp. We’ve reimagined the original timber version of this lamp base in ceramic — handmade in London by @helenjohceramics from earthenware clay and finished with a low firing glaze. This piece brings a traditional macramé knot into a contemporary setting. The base is wrapped in a pattern of Josephine knots using leather cord to create a bold, graphic surface. All knotting is completed by hand in my Berkshire studio. A tactile mix of materials, craft heritage, and a clean, modern silhouette. Available in Mica, Speckle, or Matt Black glaze, along with a range of coloured leather cords. Available to order directly. International wiring available on request. For trade prices, get in touch.
