Begum was commissioned to design seat covers and tapestries as part of the Bristol Beacon Transformation. Through her designs she chose to reflect the diversity of sound preformed in the halls through rhythm, pattern and repetition. She responded to the qualities of light by pushing the boundaries of colour and texture with in the space. To achieve this she collaborated with the textile company Dash and Miller to develop a textured, jacquard design that added further dynamism to the pattern and material.
