GOOD LIFE DAILY: From Tabletop to Jewelry Box
Just last week, I came across this graphic fabric that I could just tell would look great on me. The bold color would perfectly set off my tan, and its soft texture felt supercomfy. Only problem? It was on a pillow. And then there’s my wedding china, with its pale gold pattern against a creamy white background, a design that I can’t help thinking would look equally as nice printed on a dress or skirt. Sigh. All these great designs that, instead of hanging in my closet, are relegated to a corner of my couch and the back of my china cabinet.
So when I found these organically modern plates, shown, by ceramicist Yasha Butler (who comes to Philly by way of Istanbul), I was happy. But, when I discovered that Butler has also carried her simple-chic design to a pair of earrings, I was downright ecstatic. Finally. A design for my home that I can also wear out! Butler’s ceramic designs — with their bright pop of red and their softly freeform shape — will look just as lovely on my dining table as they will dangling from my lobes.
Now, if I could only get Wedgwood to venture into fashion design …
