Caroline Swift's Christmas Gift Idea

Beautiful hand-blown glass baubles by Caroline Swift.

A designer reborn...Caroline Swift re-connect with the passion that she had previously felt for design after giving up her job on 2oo3 because she felt disillusioned with the obsessive pressures to produce unlimited commercial collections.
She started with designing cakes for the magazines and found out that she was interested in plates. So, she started to make it herself...

'Her own label is her own personal approach to design. slow design, where care is taken and quality paramount. slow design is not about taking ages making things; rather it is a philosophy about taking pleasure and pride in making things and passing that on.'
