    MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE 17.03.202 1 “Immediately after I first presented the collection, which was supposed to be much smaller than a typical dinner set of 12 or more pieces, I was asked what the patterned version would look like? As a very young designer, you feel somehow under attack by questions of this Thanks to cleverly placed ridges and kind. For me, the white ceramic pieces were button-like bumps, any container can be stacked on any saucer and vice versa. beautiful enough in themselves and I could not conceive of a floral pattern. On the flight back to Zurich, I was somewhat irked by the question about decoration and I thought about doing a rainbow with all the colours in it. The subject is abstract and would certainly match the colour scheme of any table decoration. I designed coloured stripes of irregular widths and applied them only to the smallest cup. On the inside bottom of the little cup I placed an other orange spot; viewed from above, this is reminiscent of a soft-boiled egg with the top removed. We sold the entire year’s production in the first few weeks. Origo became a best-seller and made ORIGO, 1999 RANGE OF TABLEWARE me very famous in Scandinavia. So famous that I became known as the Paul Smith of the design scene, or the stripe designer. “Our eating habits are changing continuously – just like our day-to-day lives.

  • The Story of Miroslav Havel and His Role in Waterford Crystal
    Maestro of Crystal: The Story of Miroslav Havel and his Role in Waterford Crystal Written by Brian Havel, Currach Press 2006, ISBN: 978-1856079402 Available in English, 304 Pages including a number of photographs Category: Glass, History, Biography, Lighting Interview with Miroslav Havel (voice only): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVxAgQxccJo Obituary from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/26/business/26havel.html?_r=2&ref=obituaries&oref=slogin This biography is written in simple lay-man’s terms by Havel’s son (not a glassworker) and describes the rather incredible tale of a Czech Glassworker who leaves his homeland for a 3 month stay in Ireland and due to politics and bureaucracy spends the rest of his life there. He arrives as the sole employee of the soon to be resurrected Waterford Glass Company and when he retired in 1986, the company had 3,430 employees and was one of the world’s largest producers of fine crystal and chandeliers. It is an interesting account of the traditional glass training in Czechoslovakia in the pre WWII years as well as a chronicle of the rise of Waterford Crystal and developments in glass during the period. Glass alone was not enough for Mr. Havel however, in the late 1950’s he started making glass chandeliers – “from the head”! His work was considered good enough to adorn such noble buildings as Westminster Abbey in London and the Kennedy Centre in Washington D.C. After Mr. Havel’s retirement, Waterford fell on hard times and after a period of uncertainty the company is now part of the Fiskars Group which includes such companies as Wedgewood, Iittala, Royal Doulton and Royal Albert.
