Now in its 12th year , Curiousa ( Light ) is renowned for its bespoke hand-blown glass lighting made in its Derbyshirebased old mill studio . At CDW , the brand will present its new Wave chandelier – designed by its founder Esther Patterson – featuring five hand-formed glass vessels threaded onto beams of light . Including horizontal Ripple Beams and vertical Crest and Cascade pendants , the pieces intersect with each other creating a feeling of effortless interplay and suspension .
Run by husband and wife , Jamie Hoyle and Katherine Mathew , Koda ( British Collection ) designs and makes bespoke furniture – by hand – in its studio and workshop in Yorkshire . The 10-year-old business will bring its ergonomic height-adjustable walnut desk – an elegant reimagination of a traditional writing desk – as well as its walnut media unit to the festival this May .
Also led by a husband-and-wife duo , Joel and Helena Haran , Cornwall-based Studio Haran ( Light ) specialises in lighting and furniture with sustainability at its core . Its founders work closely with a team of local skilled craftspeople to produce slip-cast ceramics and woodwork ; some of which – including the Dawn pendant and wall light – will be on show at CDW .
