Los Angeles, CA - June 15, 2008
Created by design partners James Kwan and Leo Mondor, the M/K Collection Inc. marks the team’s first essay into the home furnishing market. James and Stephen set out to create handmade objects of high craft and beauty that can be incorporated into both commercial and residential interiors. The result is the M/K Collection of hand blown glass drapery finials.
Evocative of Murano glass, the collection incorporates techniques of Venetian glass making such as fazzoletti (clear), latticino (white strings), and sommerso (saturated color). The finials are complimented by, and set off with, detailed metal collars in hand finishes of natural and rusted steel, copper and gold leaf, and verdigris. The finials were awarded a Roscoe for design excellence in May of 1993.
