About Home in Heven
Home in Heven is the creative lovechild of Breanna Box & Peter Dupont. With an otherworldly sense of design, they create unique and exquisite homeware and fashion that combines the classic craft of glassblowing with daring and original design—many of which feature their signature horns,
swirls or tentacles that give each piece the recognisable heven style.
Originally established as a way to raise money to fund a documentary about
Box’s grandfather, heven has gone from strength to strength creating what can only be seen as modern icons and collaborating with renowned global brands. Box and Dupont always film the unique story of each of their glass creations, making every collab a movie of its own with colours, film posters and designs being unique to each star.
