TELL US MORE ABOUT HOW YOU CAME UP WITH THE PLINTH & DONUTS CANDLEHOLDERS FOR ATELIER SWAROVSKI HOME.

I first worked with Swarovski for a project at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (on a 18-m status “Zotem”, embedded with 600 crystals), which was a big structure for the London Design Festival in 2015. It was from then that the crystal house approached me to be involved with the all-new Atelier Swarovski Home collection.

They asked me to put together some ideas for a table range, and we ended doing a series of candleholders. It was very different from the last project, which was a large-scale installation. So it was interesting to see what we could work on together to create a product that is mass produced and perceived in a different way.
