BENJAMIN ALLISON \ BRWA \ FOUNDER- DIRECTOR

"Inspired by an influence of cultures in 1992, I found myself looking upon the North African Atlas Mountain Range, archaic and peacefully bound by the laws of time with a palaeontological ethos that settled throughout the landscape - all I had to do, was explore" - Benjamin Allison

Benjamin's journey into palaeontology began in 1992, sparked by a fascination with the ancient world. Growing up within his father’s business scope, he developed a sharp eye for detail and craftsmanship-skills that would later shape his unique approach to design. Mastering advanced techniques in air-abrasive and pneumatic penning by the age of 14, dedicating countless hours to perfecting a craft that was only available to scientists and professionals.

By the late '90s, Benjamin’s emerging talent attracted industry attention, leading to collaborative opportunities with well-established companies. In 2013 he founded VOSSO®, a platform for his innovative work in palaeontological design, blending rare fossils, crystals, and meteorites to create extraordinary pieces that are recognised internationally, with the VOSSO® series displayed in venues such as the Royal Gardens, Shell, Schlumberger, Atlantic Productions and the Burj Al Arab.

Benjamin’s early travels through Europe and North Africa in the '90s influenced his artistic vision, inspiring him to view palaeontology through the lens of natural landscapes. This unique perspective has shaped his designs and the philosophy behind VOSSO®, committed to procuring authentic, high-quality materials through a means of an ethical approach with 2,800+ trees planted in 3 years, VOSSO® actively supports environmental initiatives, funding ecological restoration projects from the Forest of Bowland AONB, England and mangrove conservation in Madagascar, ensuring its impact extends beyond design to the preservation of the natural world of single cell organisms and animals alike.
