Director of Design, David Kitts is responsible for the development of the Kiwi Collection. How did it get its name, you may wonder…“Our designs go through such a personal development process, picking up nicknames along the way.” said Kitts, “They deserve a well thought out name that suits their personality.” While brainstorming about what glass designs and shapes should be created next, David noticed a Kiwi fruit sitting on his desk. “I wasn’t coming up with much, until I glanced at the Kiwi fruit sitting on my desk.” The Kiwi’s signature thick, hand-blown glass globes are delicately hung beneath a canopy of steel branches.
