David Perkins: Founder and President, Glass Dimensions

David Perkins: Founder and President, Glass Dimensions

All of the Glass Dimensions lamps are designed, handcrafted and hand blown in Massachusetts. The company is located in the town of Essex on Cape Ann. Once famous for its shipbuilding industry, Essex and the surrounding area on the north shore of Boston has a long and deep tradition of fine craftsmanship. In that same tradition, Glass Dimensions has approached the art of shaping glass into eye-catching, functional designs.

Twenty-five years ago, Glass Dimensions took root when a man with a single torch and a vision began producing and selling glass giftware from his basement. The creative force behind the company is president and founder David R. Perkins. David's focus on capturing the beauty of simplicity has given rise to a line of trend setting designs. His emphasis on originality, quality, and functionality has earned the company an international reputation as a leading producer of innovative glass giftware.
