The first book profiling designer Simon Pearce, today's leading handblown glassmaker, whose artisanal works impart classic style for elegant home interiors and table settings. Simon Pearce: Design for Living presents the timeless design and enduring style of the legendary glassware maker. Ranging over four decades, it showcases his distinctive line of handmade, lead-free crystal glassware for everyday use, from stemware and vases to candleholders and bowls. In the early 1970s, Pearce was captivated by the beauty and luminosity of Georgian glass, and devoted himself to revitalizing the ancient craft of glassblowing for contemporary tastes. This book is a visual celebration of his sought-after iconic pieces, photographed individually as well as in inspiring table settings and as vignettes.
