The Blue Rays Bedside Table

The bedside tables in Allegra Hicks’ Rays and Iris London series pair a simple frame of brushed brass and glass with something less simple underneath: a panel of linen hand-painted by Hicks herself, whose fresco training gives every brushstroke a fluid, watercolour quality. Because each panel is painted by hand, no two tables are ever quite identical.

This version is painted in a radiating pattern of blues.
