Brand Feature – in partnership with The Artisan Founder
Emma Britton is the original floral patterned glass splashback designer and founder of an award winning, independent design brand. Established in 2010 specialising in designer made, decorative glass splashbacks, customers can choose from Emma’s collections or commission a bespoke design. Emma’s signature floral and modern patterns make the functional beautiful, all designed and decorated in her Derbyshire studio and includes a growing range of popular glassware.
“As a designer I draw the best bits of nature. I am inspired by a contrasting colour palette and I take snaps of things I like ready for when I am back in the studio. Often drawing traditional English garden flowers such as foxgloves, lupins, iris, fuchsias and hydrangeas I’m lucky enough to be asked to draw a huge variety of others in my bespoke work, which now includes a growing and very popular range of glassware.
I see glass as a canvas on which to apply pattern, sometimes opaque, sometimes translucent. My design style is inspired by British suburbia and I’m fascinated by 20th Century interiors and how people decorate their homes today. Although my patterns are contemporary, they are rooted in nostalgia. Everything is designed for modern, everyday living.”
