Boots’ love for the physical and metaphysical qualities of quartz crystal has seen it feature extensively throughout the collection and resulted in the stunning pieces being playfully referred to as ‘jewels’ for the home. Originally designed exclusively for the Hermès holiday vitrines in New York, the latest show-stopping addition to the collection is Wings of Pegasus that reflects the mystical qualities of the mythical creature and the dazzling brilliance of the constellation. Despite the international acclaim and demand for their work, every work is still handmade in the Melbourne studio with love and dedication by the Christopher Boots team of…
