Student Spotlight: Alex Bellamy

Meet Ally, LFDS student and the founder of et.al.home, a sustainable homeware brand turning discarded plastics into vibrant, functional homeware pieces. Ally recently launched the 'viva range,' a series of 3D printed vessels made from plastics otherwise headed for landfill. The ambitious, sculptural swirls are designed using CAD techniques learned at LFDS. The pieces not only push the boundaries of technology, but encourage you to make a bold statement when extending your creative personality into your home.

With a fine art and spatial design background, Ally’s practice has always been focused on how we interact with our spaces and the objects within them, having previously created large scale immersive experiences involving the interplay of colour, light and water.

LFDS became a key stepping stone on Ally's journey from traditional art and research based practices into technical, functional and contemporary design. She continues to explore the same themes, now encapsulating these tangible, sculptural vases.

While nurturing the brand and designing the next pieces for et.al home, Ally also works in multiple creative studios and takes on freelance interior design projects.
