Design for Living presents over four decades of Simon Pearce’s work, tracing his journey from rural Ireland to Vermont. Through photographs and essays, I explore his devotion to revitalizing the ancient craft of glassblowing for contemporary life. The book celebrates his designs—luminous glass, handcrafted pottery, and inspiring table settings—while honoring the artisans and traditions that continue to shape his vision.
