Svaja glass, Lithuania

<< < (2/2)

Anne:
I was slightly surprised to see the comments in Glass (now merged into here for completeness) as my post was  based on the premise that Svaja appeared to be a design and manufacturing outfit, not just a reseller brand...  I read this page http://www.svaja.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&Itemid=3 - the paragraph, "From Svaja’s beginnings in 1999, Kristina has driven her company forward with a proven flare for designing glass, weaves and linens that are celebrated across the world" and on the about Kristina page http://www.svaja.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15&Itemid=62 she also says "and so I decided to start producing beautiful handmade glass articles" which again doesn't sound like just a reseller... Have we evidence elsewhere that can confirm either way?

KevinH:
One of the websites - or blogs - (Yestrans) that provide brief info about Kristina S Bobs, states:

--- Quote ---... Svaja. Her glass and linen design business supplies luxury hotels, company headquarters and boutiques around the world.
--- End quote ---
So yes, she is an entrepreneur and the Svaja company is a design and supply business, i.e. a brand.

From the range of glass products - smallish paperweights through to architectural glass installations, it seems unlikely that the Svaja company has direct involvement in the actual production of items. Browsing their catalogue of glass items (which takes forever on my pc to scroll through!) shows that the products follow designs that are generically similar to other companies' products, probably from the past 20 years or so. But they are of a quality that far outshines many others. And the architectural glass designs really are stunning.

What I cannot find on the web is any information to state whether or not the actual production companies, which obviously employ very skilled workers, are part of a Svaja group or are simply individual enterprises.
