Designs for Beaverbrook Tiles
2013
These tile designs were developed by Brian Clarke in connection with the commission for six treatment rooms and a pool house at the spa of Beaverbrook Country Hotel’s Coach House, a 5-star hotel opened in 2017 on the grounds of Cherkley Court.
These designs were based on motifs derived from Clarke’s 'Clouds' drawings, to which collaged floral elements or stencilled silhouettes were added. The tiles were conceived as part of a total work of art at Beaverbrook, integrating mouth-blown stained glass, Venetian glass mosaic, tilework and paintings. Ultimately, these designs were not selected for the commission.
