I am thrilled to be launching MESMERIK, a new sculptural lighting collection in collaboration with lighting designer and maker Riya Panchal.
MESMERIK is a collection where alchemy meets clarity and the bubble-rich kiln-formed glass is brought into luminous dialogue with precision-engineered metal forms. Together, these materials create lighting that is tactile, customisable, and emotionally charged, that balances luminous function with sculptural presence, positioned within the realm of collectible design. You will also be able to immerse yourself during London Design Week at Blackhorse Workshop, where three distinct experiences reveal how meaningful partnerships transform ideas into beautiful, functional art.
EVENTS: Open Studio MESMERIK Collection Launch – Discover the debut sculptural lighting collection blending bubble-rich kiln-formed glass with precision-engineered metal forms (Fri-Sun, 10am-4pm, drop-in) by Kira and Riya

I am known for making hand-made unique glass sculptures and kiln forming each of them using specially selected glass colours. Each commissioned work is created to sit perfectly in homes or workspaces and make for very personalised gifts. The glass artwork will come with a Certificate of Authenticity, specially packaged in its very own presentation box and the display system you have selected or is appropriate for the work – Box Framed, Acrylic Stand, Tension Wire or Gels.
If you would like to start the process of commissioning your very own one-of-a-kind glass sculpture, please click on the link below to fill out the ‘Commission Form’. I offer the first 30 minute consultation for free.
*I aim to reply to all emails on the day of receiving them. If for any reason I am unavailable you will receive an email notification.
I am looking forward to working with you! If you are interested in starting the process, please click on the link below-
