Jonathan Adler Vases
Jonathan Adler has been reinventing the world of modern decorative ceramics. His work makes overt references to earlier designers of the 50s, 60s and 70s, yet his pieces are instantly recognizable as Jonathan Alder ceramics, lamps, textiles and furniture.
A new Vase collection designed by Jonathan Adler caught our eye. Metal screens perforated with a square pattern similar to his Kensington duvet from his dance around frosted white glass, casting an interesting shadow. The Parker Collection, manufactured by Robert Abbey, follows on the heels of the Carlisle and the Maurice.
Jonathan Alder credits his artistic personality to his parents. “My dad was sort of a rigorous modernist and my mom was a bit more loopy in her aesthetic,” he says. “I would like to think that I’m a perfect fusion of their spirits.” Jonathan Alder’s focus is always on his pottery. His career was launched in 1994 with an order from Barneys New York. His ever-expanding pottery collection mixes sophisticated modern design, kitsch, American folk art, and a good dose of tongue-in-cheek fun.
Recent additions to the Jonathan Adler collections include home textiles such as pillows and rugs, lamps, furniture, handbags and more. Plus, a new line of designs called “Happy Home” include lower priced ceramic dinnerware and accessories. And Jonathan Adler isn’t stopping there. He’s taking his unique eye for shape, pattern and decoration to interior design as well. Jonathan Adler recently designed the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs. These Jonathan Adler vases were featured in Will & Grace in a scene with Will Truman. For more details visit www.etabletop.com
