Notes from the Archive: The Rio pattern was designed as a complete line of dinnerware for Swid Powell. In describing this design, Sowden is quoted in the Swid Powell book by Annette Tapert, "When I design furniture or decoration, textiles or objects, I express a message or an idea with them. I look for a meaning, an essence or a communication. Sometimes it is frenzied, sometimes discordant, but mostly I look for something gentle, to create an experience or a sensation of pleasure; and through pleasure I aim at beauty."
