 
Contemporary design
Shan's beautiful objects are developed through the making process itself. Each different process she uses informs and influences the ideas that she investigates.
Material qualities are important in Shan’s work. Accidental marks or imperfections are explored and exposed, then transformed into beautiful details with a mixture of complex pattern and pure simplicity.
Familiar forms afflicted with personal interventions sit alongside hand crafted unique objects in a playful juxtaposition of pattern, surface, function and material, through a series of work that explores a relationship between production and the hand made.
She mainly works with glass and porcelain, creating pieces for interiors. From objects that can sit in playful compositions with other products, to pieces that used in multiple create tantalising installations. Purity and honesty of material is crucial, letting its natural characteristics depict the visual language of her work.
Shan Annabelle Valla has achieved a huge amount considering she only finished her MA at the Royal College of Art earlier last year (09)
In 2005 she was awarded 'New Designer of Year' for the 'subtle beauty' of her work, Shan won the 'Charlotte Frasier Award' 2008, and the 'Matthews Wrightson Charitable Trust Award' 2009. In addition, the National Trust's Waddeston Manor in Buckinghamshire recently commissioned two of Shan's designs to be produced and sold in their shop, the result of a competition brief run between the Royal College Art and the National Trust.
