In every piece in the collection, we’ve tried to keep things as simple as possible so the naturally occurring patterns and colours can really shine. Putting matte black next to shiny, iridescent pearl really highlights it. #rossanaorlandi #salonedelmobile #milandesignweek

Capiz shell - a thin almost translucent shell found in the Indo-Pacific ocean. The widely eaten shellfish are harvested by fishermen throughout the Philippines. These shells come from the island of Negros, from a fishing community where serious conservation projects are underway.

Abalone is eaten as a delicacy throughout East Asia. Whilst wild populations are threatened in many parts of the world, this smaller variety is plentiful. Once the meat is harvested and sold to local restaurants, we buy the shells thus giving value to the discarded waste.

The goose feathers on our side table are a by-product of farming and the food industry. While goose down is widely known for its use in clothing and bedding, the quills are less readily sold. Each feather is individually hand-tinted black by the crafts people Nature Squared.

Scallop shell desk launching at @OrlandiRossana this week. These amazing shells come in a wide variety of natural colours from acid yellow through to inky purple, and pink as seen on our scallop shell desk. The scallops are widely eaten as a delicacy and the shells are discarded.

We are launching an entirely new partnership and collection at #RossanaOrlandi called “Exploring Eden” during #MilanDesignWeek 2019. This collection is made in partnership with Nature Squared – a company embracing sustainability and social responsibility for the last 18 years.

Delighted to be one of the winners in this years British Design Awards. Thank you @elledecorationuk and to @editionsmilano and the team of incredible craftsmen in Tuscany who made the tea set by hand 🙌🏽🙏🏽#bybethan #handcrafted #madebyhand #marble #arabescato #bethangray

‘The studs in my @rado #TrueThinline Studs watch reference the brass details in my Stud collection and I love the tactility and layers of intrigue they create – the first thing you want to do is run your finger over the bracelet to feel the leather #byBethan

‘Everything I do is about telling stories through craft and design, so it was a real honour to work with Emily, Chris and the skilled craftsmen and women in Stoke-on-Trent to create this collection.' #byBethan

My work is inspired by natural materials and my @rado #TrueThinline Studs watch is no exception. Leather seemed like a natural choice for the strap – there are no visible stitches and the leather has been ‘scythed’ so it can be folded and retain its thinness #byBethan
