My work draws on the skills of the best craftspeople I can find. Over the years I have nurtured great connections with our artisans and feel a deep sense of responsibility towards them and the communities that their crafts support.

Marc Wood grew up between London and Prague with deep rooted connections to craftsmanship and the Czech glass industry. His ancestor Frans Wais, was the brother-in-law and business partner of Daniel Swarovski. Together they made the first electric glass crystal cutting machine that revolutionised the glass industry. This legacy fuels Marc's passion for heritage craft and gives him an innate understanding of the industry.
