Delft designs

I’ve always loved timeless Delft pottery, in part because it seems so comfortably traditional, and in part because the combination of blue and white always seems fresh. So it’s interesting to see two new takes on the classic plate ware. U.S. designers Nicholas Lovegrove and Demian Repucci riffed on Dutch Delft craftsmanship and came up with graffiti-inspired collections of fine porcelain plate ware, which sells for US $100 for a five-piece setting. And whimsical Dutch designer Marcel Wanders (I love the wallpaper he does for Graham and Brown) has a collection of Delftware, which you can see at the Royal Delft website.
