Highlight of the Night

Highlight of the Night

Over the summer we’ve been bashing clay with a rock, firing up the kiln to 830 degrees, experimenting with glass and learning to weld. The resulting light, chair and pair of vases created exclusively for Future Heritage went on display during Decorex.

Highlight of the Night began from a desire to make a cast glass disc as a light.

Meandering Chair is an experiment in using a minimal amount of material to make an elegant seat.

For the With or Without You vases engraved glass is given a weightless quality.

Find out more about the collection.

Daffodil for Marie Curie’s Garden of Light

Daffodil for Marie Curie’s Garden of Light

We’ve been invited to create one of several bespoke, sculptural daffodils to be exhibited as part of Marie Curie’s Garden of Light from 1 to 11 March 2018.

Made from mild steel and brass, the daffodil is laser cut in England, hand formed and painted in the studio, and finished with Swarovski Crystals on the leaves and petals.

The installation in Paternoster Square, overlooking St Pauls Cathedral in London, will be a unique and reflective space filled with 4,000 handcrafted daffodils that the public will be able to visit.

The Great Daffodil Appeal is Marie Curie’s biggest annual fundraising campaign. Every March, millions of people across the UK support this fundraising event by making a small donation to Marie Curie to wear a daffodil pin. The money raised through the appeal helps Marie Curie provide free care and support to people living with terminal illnesses.
