Jonathan Adler Pottery

Ceramist, decorator, and style guru Jonathan Adler holds a singular position in the ongoing evolution of modern design. Unlike contemporaries such as Karim Rashid, his creations make overt reference to those of earlier designers, particularly late-modernist practitioners of the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s.

Jonathan Adler views Modernism as a vocabulary, one that, like that of any language, can convey beauty, instruction, history, humor and even pathos. As individual elements, the colors, shapes and textures of his pottery might seem familiar, but together they constitute work that is sui generis, neither reproduction nor homage.
