QUARTZ TROUGH

Ron Dier's designs began appearing on the pages of Vogue, Metropolitan Homes, Bon Appetite, and Architectural Digest.  The American Crafts Museum featured his works. The Royal Family of Saudi Arabia became a significant client. Viceroy Resorts new Anguilla Hotel has an entire wall in their Coba restaurant dedicated to Dier sculpture. Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton around the world are using Dier sculptures in their lobbies and lighting  in their Presidential suites.  Ironically, the grand eastern hotels of Tokyo and Singapore now feature ceramics from this Western artisan. Atlantis Resort Dubai installed works by Dier, commissioning a series of hand-thrown pedestal urns, finished in 22-carat gold, and each towering over 7 feet in height.

  Dier’s inspirations are wide-ranging and eclectic. From the 1830s farmhouse he once owned in the Berkshires, to an on-going regimen of international travel, he’s constantly exposed to new ideas that keep the gears in a creative mind well oiled. Primitive Aztec pieces, Thai temple jars, Japanese hibachis and classic Greek vases have all made an impact on his constantly evolving collection.
