KACPER HAMILTON

Glass, Furniture and Product Designer, Kacper Hamilton was born in London and studied at Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Design, London.

By the age of 20, he had already completed his first major work entitled "7 Deadly Glasses". This Limited Edition series of handmade wine glasses, artfully displayed within a sarcophagus, questions the ritual of drinking wine, and induces an exploration of what is deemed as socially acceptable behaviour.

The work, although experimental, created a breakthrough into the wider design world. As a result of his succes, Kacper Hamilton was invited to be a Vitrine Designer for Luis Vuitton in Paris, where he worked on several key global projects, creating striking and unique worldwide window installations. Hamilton released his next major work in Paris; a commission for Ballantine's Aged 12 Years Whisky entitled "L'Art de la Dégustation" (the Art of Tasting) , launched in September 2010.

L'Art de la Dégustation

Kacper Hamilton's spectacular and wholly unique designs are frequently inspired by, or seek to tell, stories [...]. His work fluctuates between the boundaries of art and design.
Kacper's central objective is to bring these narratives and values of daily rituals to life by experience through design, often resulting in unusual interpretations, but always new and at times unexpected experiences.
