About us

Step into the story of craftsmanship, care, and considered design.

Rapture & Wright: Making Better, Not More
Founded in 2004 by Rebecca Aird and Peter Thwaites, Rapture & Wright create hand-made British fabrics and wallpapers rooted in craftsmanship, authenticity, and sustainability. From a solar-powered studio, they blend Arts & Crafts heritage with contemporary values. In this talk, the founders share their journey and why they believe the world needs better products, not more.

About Our Speakers
From humble beginnings in a leaky farmyard barn, Rapture & Wright have pioneered a production strategy that blends an Arts & Crafts heritage with contemporary technology and values. Skilled hands bring their designs to life from a studio powered entirely by solar energy and supported by a ground breaking waste water system. Manufacturing to the highest environmental
and social standards and bringing opportunities to their local area. The process of making by hand underpins everything that they do. It has shaped and defined their brand and embodies everything that the company has come to represent. True value they believe is not about making more but meaning more to themselves, their workforce, the environment and ultimately to their customers.

Join Rapture & Wright for an inspiring talk on meaningful making. Book now.
