Maison Balzac x Denise Larcombe

Elise Pioch Balzac is the founder and creative director of Maison Balzac, working from an instinctive, hands-on approach to object design. Denise Larcombe joined an Australian glass manufacturer in 1967 as one of the first female industrial designers in the country, going on to design thirteen ranges that won national design awards. Decades later, Pioch Balzac brought one of those designs, a glass from 1976 now included in the Powerhouse Collection, back into production, working directly with Larcombe to see it through. Larcombe describes good design as something achieved together, thanks to the people who support the work, never alone.
