As Breanna Box and Peter Dupont debut a new collaboration at Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design festival, the pair discuss the realities of running a small business, and the problems with the fashion industry
Creative partnerships can be a catalyst for a range of publicly aired frustrations, from miscredited design work to unfair compensation, but Box has learned to take control from the outset. “I let people know from the beginning who they’re fucking with,” she says. “People come to us for the specificity of how we design, soI’ve always known how to say no, but now people are listening to my no.”
In May of this year, French lingerie brand Etam partnered with Heven to produce a maximalist collection of minimal coverage swimwear, including an under-the-sea-inspired glass.
While Heven’s high-profile collaborations and viral creations have catapulted Box and Dupont into the spotlight as glass artists and designers, it’s the pair’s passion for filmmaking that provided the foundation for the brand. Before Box’s beloved grandfather passed away in March 2022 – something that happened, she explains, “just days” after their first major Coperni PR moment and as “the hardest experience” of her life – she had begun making a documentary about his life.
and I think that’s a general problem in the fashion industry: it’s so fast and so focused on a wholesale structure that it’s falling apart.” With the future of Heven built on creative independence, Dupont states the importance of moving forward without looking back too often. “I’m super happy with what we did and how that collaboration came about, but at the end of the day, that was also the time for us to split. They’re doing their thing, and people can think what they want. I don’t care. We’re doing our thing, and I hope they don’t care about that either.
