My Bright Ideas product is...
Beautiful naturally dyed wood bangles made from ethically sourced wood. Very thin sheets of coloured wood are compressed together and then turned on a lathe to reveal striking layers and waves of patterns. Inspired by the British coastline, Anthony's bangles echo the layers of rock that are revealed by the sea erosion of the land. Stunning designs inspired by the natural environment that offer you an original contemporary look with strong eco-credentials.
As a student Anthony made the decision to use wood and cork as a moral reaction to working with precious metals. Since then he has have never looked back, creating eye catching pieces that tie in with today's ethical concerns. He is able to select materials of which he knows the exact provenance.
"I feel like a chef who uses seasonal and regional produce and is able to trace the source of the ingredients."
Only two years out of college, Anthony Roussel has hit the ground running and his work is available at a number of prestigious events. For the future he aims to work on a much larger scale taking his design principles into interiors and public art commissions.
