From Heathfield & Co the Averra collection (launching 1st October) celebrates 100 years of Art Deco, blending sleek architectural shapes with luxurious materials in a design-led tribute to Deco’s timeless appeal. The collection celebrates the sculptural qualities of glass and, for the first time, Heathfield & Co has worked with slumped glass – a technique where the material is gently melted over a mould to create a rippled almost water-like texture that is tactile and organic (Dulcie pendant shown above) Several of the pieces also use a new ‘Mist’ which has a wispy, cloud-like finish that softens each design and introduces a serene, elevated neutral to the range
