Collection Seven from New York based Gamma Folk is a statement lover’s dream. Rough textured and subdued neutrals pair well with the more bold hues, adding unexpected dimension to these beautiful sculptural pieces–art for both body and home. The collection features handformed clay and naturally dyed materials, woven details, and elemental modern shapes that provide a major dose of tactile intrigue. I’m especially in love with the Ionia Earrings, Agni Earrings (you can’t go wrong with mix-and-match earrings), Myrto Vessel, and Zois Wall Hanging. Take a look and shop the full collection here.

Considering I’ve drooled over Brian Paquette’s previous Seattle home on FvF countless times, I can’t believe I missed the condo he designed for himself in this Domino feature from last year.

I’ve always been intrigued by a physical move–a chance to take the same objects and give them new life in a new space, to reinvent. The cool, limited color palette, earthy ceramics, and unique art speak volumes to me. He’s created such intriguing and cozy layers throughout the space that I’m scheming up ways to reimagine my own. Brian’s collection of ceramic wares from some of my favorite artists, like Morgan Peck, Ben Medansky, and Bari Ziperstein, gets me every time. If ever there were a time to have house envy, this would be it. Though his interior design work tends to be more clean and put together than my home, I find his aesthetic incredibly relatable and dripping with personality, even here in a new build. Refined and elegant without being cold and unattainable. I can’t wait to see what Brian does next.

To say I appreciate ceramics would be a serious understatement. From sculptural to functional, I treasure it all. Recently I downsized my collection but that hasn’t stopped me from thinking about adding in more practical ceramics, particularly in the kitchen. I’ve been on the hunt for a set of plates to allow us to have more guests over in the future, and nothing has appealed to me quite like the work of North Carolina based East Fork Pottery. I love the rich earth tones and slim, modern design of East Fork’s table and house wares collection. There’s an art to having what is essential without depriving yourself of what is beautiful, and East Fork Pottery has accomplished that gracefully.

East Fork Line is simple and fundamental. Unadorned, the work is distilled to its essential elements: form and function.  It is durable and timeless, resistant to fashion and trends.  — East Fork Pottery

One of my favorite things about this collection is how complementary it is in shape, from the serving bowls to the tumblers and vases. I could easily integrate it with our current collection to harmonize together beautifully, whether set at the dinner table or displayed on open shelving in our elemental but modern kitchen. These pieces create such a winsome, inviting scene that’s perfect for sharing with others.

My favorites are the dinner plates and shallow serving bowls in grey, incense burner in white, and the unglazed urchin. I can’t stop thinking about how stunning they’d look contrasted with the brass kitchen accessories also in East Fork’s shop, handmade in Japan by Ruka Kikuchi. Metal and clay are always a winning pair.

I’ve inadvertently made purchases around a theme over the last several months. These shades of off-white speak to the current mood I’m channeling–comfortable, muted, and composed. A good neutral does wonders to balance my somewhat unrestrained tastes. I’m so happy about these new additions to my collection.

David recently gave me the sweetest gift, a beautiful Morgan Peck sculpture. I’ve been a fan for a long time and I’m so thrilled to now have her work as part of my ceramics collection. David is always finding ways to make me feel special and I love knowing he cares about my interests. His birthday is coming up and I’m really looking forward to doing the same for him. He can be tough to buy presents for but I’m getting better at it and can’t wait to surprise him!
