ARCHITECTURAL POTTERY

The first book to document the history of the groundbreaking company Architectural Pottery, tracing its critical influence on midcentury design and its enduring appeal today. Architectural Pottery's strikingly minimalist designs heralded new domestic housewares that could uniquely accent the modern home. Highly coveted and prized in design circles, they were seen in houses by Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and the historic Case Study Houses, and featured in the first of MoMA's legendary Good Design exhibitions alongside now-iconic designs by Ray and Charles Eames, Alexander Girard, and George Nelson. Richly illustrated with contemporary photography and extensive visual archival material-including the records of the founders Rita and Max Lawrence, and the personal archives of designers, art directors, and photographers associated with the company-it both tells a compelling story and is a valuable resource for collectors and interior designers.
