FERN Studio£12.00
Hi I'm Beth, designer-maker and owner of FERN. A design led, concrete homeware and studio waste jewellery brand based in Hertfordshire, UK.
I can’t remember a time when I didn’t make, create, design or think of doing any of those things. I grew up in a family of designers and artists. My dad was an architect and my Mum a kitchen designer. Our house was always filled with art, sculpture and objects made by my three sisters and I, alongside pieces collected by my parents from all around the world.
I have followed various paths since my teens including studying motor vehicle technology and working as a piano technician but I've always had to design and make to fulfil the creative part of me so about ten years ago I took to making products and jewellery.
Now here I am, in an old coal shed in my back garden. I’ve made it look a bit nicer than the dirty brick building it once was, but I spend most of my day in here, covered in concrete and dust.
All of the products I make are individually designed and made, by me, in this little building.
The influence and style of my designs comes predominantly from brutalism. Clean geometric lines, mixed with smooth round edges, form the basis of all of my products.
I create master objects from a variety of materials. I then make silicone moulds from these objects for small scale repeat production.
I work mainly with sustainable Portland cement, mixed with fine aggregates.
I use water based or natural pigments to colour all of my pieces and I use the waste concrete, from this casting process, to cast pieces for jewellery items.
FERN homeware products form a cohesive range of pigmented concrete objects.
All of my homeware products are intended to be beautiful together, in mixed groups, or as individual items.

Perfect addition in the guest room - no longer need to hunt around for something to light the candles.
Love the size and weight of them too, the colours perfectly compliment our location.
