PAD London Design + Art
View catalogue here
We were honoured to announce our participation in the prestigious PAD London Design fair this year.
From 8 - 13 October, PAD London returned to the iconic Berkeley Square in Mayfair, where we showcased an extraordinary selection of work from our talented makers alongside designers and galleries from over 20 countries worldwide.

As the only dedicated glass gallery at PAD, we were proud to represent the rich heritage of this extraordinary medium. While glassblowing has a history spanning over 2,000 years, glass art is a relatively new phenomenon in contemporary art, emerging just six decades ago with the Studio Glass movement in the USA. Now recognised for its versatility and beauty, glass has found diverse forms of expression in the endeavours of art and design practitioners worldwide, captivating a discerning global audience with brilliant and often complex works.
A celebration of creativity and craftsmanship at the highest level, bringing together exquisite and innovative works across art, design, and antiquities.
