The English Home - Bermondsey Collaboration
The English Home features the Lolo x London Glassblowing collaboration in "Bermondsey Collaboration," celebrating the partnership between Peter Layton and his Bermondsey Street neighbour, chef José Pizarro. Marking London Glassblowing's 50th anniversary and the 15th year of José's first eponymous restaurant, the pair have created a limited-edition collection of 30 hand-blown glass platters. Available from October, the platters draw their colour palette from José's newest restaurant, Lolo, while showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship for which London Glassblowing is renowned.
