It’s really great to design products that will then be used on a daily basis by a wide variety of people. people. What a wonderful mission it is to bring people together around a beautiful object, and what’s more, in a moment of conviviality! what’s more, in a moment of conviviality! Why did you choose this job?

At the moment, I have a soft spot for the Swirly range, the brand’s latest addition. The round shape of this glass is generous, enveloping, very soft and delicate. We’re in desperate need of softness and comfort in these difficult times, so the design of these glasses is very contemporary, and at the same time, they look great tucked away in a 70s china cabinet!
