In the early 1980s Hiscott won an important stained glass commission to create the Unilever windows at Blackfriars. Made during what she considers to be her post -modern phase, they presented an opportunity to work with the craftsmen at the Wilhelm Derix Studio in Taunusstein, Germany - one of  many international collaborations during her prestigious career.

The Unilever windows were a gift from Unilever Deutschland to the International Headquarters which faces Blackfriars Bridge. An imposing building - Empire Classical on the outside, and Art Deco on the inside.

Refurbished by the Architect Theo Crosby of Pentagram, he chose to emphasise the Art Deco element. He rejected the original design by Johannes Schreiter as a “tired exercise in conceptualism,” choosing instead to search for a young British designer through the Crafts Council.

‘I was thrilled to be chosen and have my design accepted, but it was just a few days before giving birth to my daughter and I worked in the studio with my  three-week old baby!

Forty years later some of those widows are still in situ. But there has been a further refurbishment which involved changes to the building and some of the stained glass being sold by a firm of architectural reclaimers, to a collector in Japan.
