The name Pearls Before Swine is a timeless, biblical expression implying that things of beauty should not be put before those incapable of appreciating their value. Since founding the company in 2005, designer Himo Martin has sought inspiration in the overlooked details of life – lost objects, elements of nature, and personal histories. While continuing to hone our craftsmanship, the next chapter for Pearls Before Swine involves connecting others to the narratives in our designs. Whether it’s a special edition piece or items from the permanent collections, each Pearls Before Swine creation is handmade at our studio in Montreal.
