The Team
To deliver the bespoke glassworks that our clients expect, Daedalian Glass has forged a highly committed, experienced and skilled team of glass technicians and designers.
Our team is passionately committed to living our values, and collectively offer an encyclopaedic knowledge of luxury glass design.
We’re a close knit bunch and while we have individual roles and responsibilities, these often overlap, making us great collaborators – both within the team and with architects, glass artists and interior designers.
COMPANY DIRECTORS

He returned to Daedalian Glass Studios in 2012 following a six-year hiatus in which he was employed in corporate finance in the City of London for multi-national banks.
This began a 5-year succession process in which he worked closely with Davia, gradually increasing his responsibility for the day-to-day running of the company before becoming the Managing Director in 2017.

Davia was awarded the Presidency of the British Glass Manufacturers Confederation in 2015 – the first and to date only female to ever hold this position.
Her work draws on a wide range of influences that have inspired her over the course of more than 4 decades of glass working.
She now focuses her time of creating bespoke glass designs for our clients and nurturing the next generation of glass artists within our studios.
