Artist Bio:

Sophie Lou Jacobsen
French-American designer Sophie Lou Jacobsen creates objects and furniture for everyday use, but with details designed to delight the user. Working mainly with colored borosilicate glass as her medium, Jacobsen explores the relationship between humans and the inanimate, imbuing a sense of poetry into the objects with which we surround ourselves, from cocktail glasses to pendant lights.

Tom Dixon
Born in Tunisia and raised in England, Tom Dixon’s reputation frequently precedes him. His mystique as a bad boy – Dixon dropped out of art school following a motorcycle accident and spent time in his 20s playing bass with a rock band and organizing warehouse parties – is nearly as recognized as his unmistakable gift for design and emergence as one of England’s most influential designers.
