B Goods

B Goods patterns and homewares are designed by husband and wife team Ben and Fi O’Brien, from their studio in Somerset, England. Over the passed 10 years they have worked together as a multi-disciplinary design studio, bringing dynamic colour and refreshing creativity to everything from advertising campaigns and music videos to art prints and sculptural installations. The B Goods brand, started in 2013, blends Fi’s eye for design and Ben’s illustration skills together with their love of the home. Unsurprisingly, the name ‘B Goods’ stems from the eternal life rule to ‘be good’. Story behind the brand We love stories, the sharing of adventures. Every B Goods pattern has a story behind it and every B Goods product brings the story into the home. Our stories are of nature and travel, of life and living, of communities, colour, friendships and freedom. This ethos has led to us now working with a selection of meticulous printers, craftsmen and product manufacturers across Great Britain to create our products, to tell our stories and share our adventures. People Involved Originating from Melbourne, Australia, with a background in advertising project management and running an independent cafe/design store, Fi O’Brien is the founder and director of B Goods. When she’s not ticking off to-do lists, co-ordinating product manufacture or talking promo and retail, Fi can be found at the sewing machine hand-making B Goods textile products. Ben O’Brien, working under his moniker ‘Ben the Illustrator’ has successfully managed his own creative practice for over 15 years, initially in London and now taking inspiration from the forests and fields surrounding their West Country home. Ben is pattern designer and story-writer for B Goods, working closely with Fi to bring ideas to life and cover products in pattern and colour.
