DRAWING WITH GLASS
Kate Hume has been designing and styling in various mediums for
twenty years - from fashion to film sets and interiors in Europe and the USA.
An enduring interest in glass as a medium led to the design and production of
a small collection of unique pieces in 1999.
Working alongside renowned glass craftsmen in the Netherlands, the group
Rock/Pebble was created.
Comprising organic free-flowing shapes in jewel bright
colours, the collection was launched successfully at 100% Design in London in
1999 - and instigated a huge trend for organic forms in glass.
Hume’s work was then featured at the Contemporary Decorative Arts show at Sothebys,
London in 2000.
Since then she has found a growing international clientele - both
in the design world and the art world.
The collection of mouth-blown pieces has gradually expanded to incorporate over
fifty basic forms, and the continuing exploration of colour, cutting and surface
texture has lent a deeper dimension to Hume's work.
Most of the pieces are designed to form 'still lives' and are presented in complimentary groups
Kate Hume is also a creative partner in the design company Birdman Furniture www.birdmanfurniture.com
