Louis Poulsen’s ‘Pale Rose’ collection by Poul Henningsen and Vilhelm Lauritzen was reinterpreted by New York creatives Breanna Box and Peter Dupont of Heven
in Copenhagen , Danish lighting company Louis Poulsen has collaborated with the creatives behind emerging Brooklyn-based homewares brand Heven, Breanna Box and Peter Dupont.
‘This project was a dream commission for us,’ explains Dupont. 'Poul Henningsen’s approach to design has always been a big inspiration. From his interest in writing and filmmaking, his approach to product and architecture, through to his pure energy for life.' ‘I took a glassblowing class in New York, just as things were getting scary’, says Box. ‘I’ve always loved the speed with which you can create something truly unique and original from glass, and I felt the pull to explore.’ A chance meeting with British glass artist KT Rothe provided the encouragement to dive in professionally, and the couple credit her as an important mentor in their work to date.
‘We didn’t graduate from any kind of design school but have worked and invented based on a mixed background of fashion, art and film with a very hands-on approach to our design’, Box continues. ‘We are both trained glassblowers, and that technical understanding of what is and isn’t possible is key when building relationships with master craftspeople who can realise our dreams.’ ‘We have a heavenly network of creatives,’ Dupont says with a grin.
