| Gallery label | When British designer Bethan Laura Wood was asked to reinterpret the clean shape of Valextra’s handbags, she reinvented the bags’ signature black piping as wiggly and colorful handles . She was inspired by the sinuous lines of artist Eduardo Paolozzi’s work. Her paper prototypes [E.230 to 233-2020] give an insight into the creative process and experimentation. Wood tested her ideas in London before creating the technical drawing (reproduced on the right) for the manufacturer in Italy to produce the final pieces.
