Esther Patterson, the founder of Curiousa & Curiousa designs for bespoke free-blown glass and hand-made bone china lighting. Her range offers a wide choice of colour, shape and size, blowing to order glass shades from 130mm to 330mm in diameter. All the complimentary bone china parts are made and fired in-house and each glass part is locally free-blown without moulds, allowing virtually any shape, size and colour to be achieved. Based in Derbyshire in the Midlands with a commitment to working with UK based craftspeople and supplier, Esther continues to work locally with highly skilled carpenters, fabricators, photographers and glass blowers. Esther launched her range in Design Week at Tent London in 2010 gaining the prestigious 'Elle Decoration Approval' award. With lights now retailing through Liberty’s London, designs used in Harvey Nicols Fifth Floor Cafe, pendants hanging in Jamie Oliver Restaurants and this year gaining a nomination for the British Design Awards, Esther continues to go from strength to strength, developing new ranges and bespoke solutions for interior designers, architectural practices and private individuals.
