Super Fake
designed by Bethan Laura Wood
By imagining a visual landscape, the Super Fake Collection allows us, through its detail and dynamism, to lose ourselves and dream.
about the collection
Super Fake by Bethan Laura Wood. A series of rugs inspired by the collision of the man-made with nature. Each based on a different rock form, whose surface patterns are created through the organic build-up of sediment through time and a combination of materials under pressure.
Bethan Laura Wood uses the rock as a reference to explore the post-Instagram and Snapchat world, where the fleeting two-dimensional image collides with a physical and tactile reality, the hyper-, and super-, fake spill into our daily lives.
Each layer or facet is represented by a variety of beautiful rug-making techniques which have been developed over centuries by Tibetan artisans.
