Curiousa

Curiousa & Curiousa design and manufacture hand-blown glass lighting from their Derbyshire workshop. Esther Patterson, their designer and founder, has a real passion for all things British-made and for true craftsmanship, so is proud to be part of an emergence of traditional British skills.

At Curiousa & Curiousa we pride ourselves on our range of innovative and colourful glass pendant and chandelier designs. We have given hand-blown glass a new lease of life with colour at the heart of the appeal of our adaptable designs that look just as in place in a heritage property setting as in a modern design scheme.

Curiousa & Curiousa glass pendant lights are each truly unique creations. We design every lighting design bespoke to order, where we design lighting to match the space and interior décor in your design scheme.

Esther launched her business in 2010 having graduated as a mature student with a first class degree in Decorative Arts. Her first studio was a caravan parked on the family drive. At university she initially specialised in fabric and wallpaper design and slip cast bone-china table lamps. She would spend many hours experimenting - piecing together different cast forms in various formations. She was then given an opportunity to work with a glass blower and experienced a eureka moment.

Now with a small close-knit team working from a historic Derbyshire Mill, each of Esther's designs still seeks to bring out the intrinsic beauty of the glass itself, and this focus has helped establish Curiousa's reputation in the decorative lighting industry.

Every order placed is made specially in their workshop. All the glass is free-blown, without the use of moulds, in the UK and is personal to them from single pendants to large scale chandeliers. Customers, designers and architects alike will get the same intimate level of service they pride ourselves on.

Our pendants, chandeliers and bespoke creations can be seen hanging proudly in Harvey Nichols, Jamie Oliver’s, Empire Theatre Liverpool, London Hilton Bankside and many more worldwide locations.
