Meet the Designers
Matthew Persson
initially trained as a glassblower and created the Rebecca range as his first
crystal suite for Dartington. He also designed the Mia glass drinkware range and
the Shell bowls suite which carries the Master Glassmakers signature.
Rachael
Woodman says,”Dartington always provides a harmony of grace and practicality. I
like to think that my namesake collection continues to deliver this essential
combination”
Hilary Green designer of Cirrus and Ebony drinksware
delights in their simplicity and freshness and feels that black or white is
perfect for co-ordinating a look for the home. Hilary also designed the Teal,
Henna, Indigo and Spark ranges and the Wibble vases.
Sarah Peterson used
a combination of hand techniques to create a visual focus point in the Fusion
crystal suite, so the form and finish of each piece will never be the same
ensuring a truly unique item.
Probably the best known name of all the
Dartington designers is Frank Thrower, an acknowledged icon of 20th century
design. His simple and effortless style was the source of Dartington’s creative
inspiration for many years. Although Frank died in 1987, many of his timeless
classics live on in today’s Dartington collection.
