Description
Architectural Pottery: Ceramics for a Modern Landscape is the first full history of this celebrated and influential brand. Founded in 1950, Architectural Pottery revolutionized domestic housewares with its strikingly minimalist designs that accentuated the modern home - inside and out.
The company's innovative approach to ceramics production, furniture design, and collaboration with renowned designers like Paul McCobb and David Cressey, had a lasting impact on midcentury design. This book is richly illustrated with contemporary photography and extensive visual archival material, including records of the founders and personal archives of those associated with the company.
With its compelling story and valuable resource for collectors and interior designers, Architectural Pottery: Ceramics for a Modern Landscape is a must-have for anyone interested in midcentury modern design and the history of this iconic brand. The publication coincides with a major exhibition at the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, California.
