shop at savoy hotel

30 March 2011

I have recently designed a limited edition vase exclusively for the Shop at Savoy which is to be launched for April. The vase is to be showcased along side their new collection of exclusive products which have been selected by fashion retail consultant Yasmin Sewell. The piece I have created is a vessel called ‘One Vase Only’. The vase has been inspired by both the Art Deco style of The Savoy Hotel as well as my faceted One Light Only lighting collection, launched during London Design Week 2010. Each vase is made with handcrafted Marquetry techniques in high gloss American Walnut and polished brass. Each vase is part of a limited edition of 50. The image above is a visual, I will post the real deal soon.
