In honor of International Women's Day (today!), we're celebrating ten brilliant women in design as featured in Dwell. And, be sure to check out 25 more women in design here.
The late Margaret De Patta (1903–1964) was one of the 20th century's most seminal jewelry designers. Originally trained as a painter in her native California, De Patta turned to jewelery making after crafting her own wedding band in 1929. Since then, she's been churning out bold, carefully crafted and conscious-driven wearable pieces of art.
Architects Hariri & Hariri thrive on conceptual cross-pollination. Their research into geology and quarrying for the Sternbrauerei residential development in Salzburg, Austria, inspired the faceted, gemlike fixtures they created for AFNY and Rapsel’s Crystalline Bath Collection and, more obviously, their Swarovski-fabricated Kryptonite
jewelry collection.
