Simon Pearce
Quechee, Vermont
“From inception, Simon’s vision has been to create products that are beautifully designed, produced with premium quality materials, and time-honored techniques and intended for a lifetime of everyday use. This original vision and inspiration lives on with everything we do.
In 1981, seeking independence from European business constraints and high energy costs, Simon moves his operation to Quechee Vermont, where he completes the restoration of a historic woolen mill. The Ottauquechee River provides hydroelectric power for the glass furnaces along with electricity for the entire facility.”
Simon Pearce has provided my family countless hours of enjoyment. Not only did we have a delightful lunch here this visit, but we celebrated Mimi’s 90th birthday in this Mill with our entire family – the Pritchards and the Fieldings. My cousins Jessica and Leah have worked here. At one point, he had a retail operation, studio and restaurant within 500 yards of my parents home in Southern Chester County Pennsylvania where, ironically, my parents first met PD and his wife.
Simon Pearce’s vision is driven first by the quality of “who we are”… I like this thought and find it no small wonder his company, and products, and the experience he provides, has been a thread throughout my family.
