The beautiful Diana Carmichael Range

The beautiful Diana Carmichael Range

"Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honourable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself." - Cicero

Morning,

Eastern Gifts and Things cc would like to share with you the beautiful range of pewter products from Diana Carmichael.

The collection consists of timeless pewter tableware with stainless steel utensil inserts, resulting in functional pieces that are perfectly weighted and easy to hold. Detailed craftsmanship and unique finishes give Diana's products a refined exclusivity.

The hand-made collections include a wide selection of accessories: letter-openers, bar ware, pickle forks, sugar spoons, condiment bowls, cheese-boards and knives. These and many other items make unique gifts or distinctive accessories to complement any modern living environment.

Since its inception in 1995, the Diana Carmichael Artworks range has grown into a complete tableware line that meets the needs of a sophisticated clientèle not only in South Africa, but all over the world. Each piece is packaged in a Diana Carmichael-branded gift box and supplied with its own special care card.

Diana Carmichael was born in Singapore, but grew up in Zimbabwe where she studied jewellery design and manufacturing. In 1981, Diana moved to Johannesburg, South Africa where she continued to design jewellery. Still unable to find her true passion, Diana then pursued a career in graphic design and worked as a freelance artist for a number of years.

In 1995 Diana was inspired to take her talent and distinctive sense of design in a completely new direction. This led to the creation of the Diana Carmichael brand of pewter tableware and accessories.

Diana has been greatly influenced by the forms and textures of this extraordinary continent, where she captures the elusive "spirit" of Africa in her designs. This comes from "having lived in Africa all my life and experiencing daily the natural beauty of the African sub-continent and its people." She sees a "richness about life in Africa" which she reveals in her designs.

As part of her original vision, demand for Diana's product has created stable employment for 49 local South Africans. While each piece is hand-molded in a casting process that fuses them with the stainless steel utensils, the real work occurs in the finishing of the product. The five stages of finishing are all done by hand using traditional methods, and require a high degree of skill and the finest attention to detail.

Despite humble beginnings, the production of a single designer teaspoon has grown into a comprehensive tableware and home ware range that meets the needs of a sophisticated, global clientèle. Diana's inspiration, determination and technical expertise have made her the most sophisticated, exclusive pewter designer brand in South Africa. (Ref: http://www.dianacarmichael.co.za).
