CRÈME Handmade Ceramics at Cibone, Greenpoint

In the spirit of hospitality at architect Jun Aizaki's Forbes top-rated hospitality design practice CRÈME, these pieces have the potential to make a really wonderful gift.

Combining quality craft, visual simplicity, and a sense of childlike play–dare i say evoking the spirit of junya ishigami's monoline + watercolor drawings–this collection explores different moods and gestures:

Scored: precise, constructed linework

• Dots: spontaneous, playful gestures

• Picnic: softened, hand-drawn checks

• Curves: interwoven forms in balanced color compositions

The pipeline of architect to home goods design is a well worn path, but this particular iteration–defined by (rare and unusual) practicality (that is, objects for every-day use) and accessibility (in price point)–does not disappoint. More of this please
