From Julie:
UK-based ceramics artist Kiki Gerontaki calls her work “functional and semi-functional” (we assume semi-functional refers to her pierced teacup series); she will be showing her work at 100% Design in London in September 2008, sharing space with wallpaper designer Deborah Bowness (see our earlier post Pattern Language).

From Julie and Francesca:
We are dangerously susceptible to the quotidian genius of British designer Jasper Morrison’s work. He calls his design philosophy “super normal,” and describes it as a celebration of ordinary house objects. Morrison has this to say in the International Herald Tribune: “Things which are designed to attract attention are generally unsatisfactory. The objects that really make a difference to our lives are often the least noticeable ones, that don’t try to grab our attention. They’re the things that add something to the atmosphere of our homes and that we’d miss the most if they disappeared. That’s why they’re ’super normal.’ ” His PlateBowlCup line of sturdy bone china dinnerware for Alessi is a case in point. Prices range from $5 for a saucer to $56 for a serving platter; his delicate glasses are a reasonable $7 each. Available at Alessi Shop, Fitzsu Society, Unica Home, All Modern; a 20-piece dinner set is $183 at Haus Modern.

From Sarah:
Renowned Japanese potter Taizo Kuroda’s white porcelain pieces draw deeply on classic Zen aestheticism. He’s been called the Tadao Ando of pottery. Each exquisitely delicate piece is thrown on a potter’s wheel and burnished with fine-grade sandpaper to achieve a luminous glow. His work is available in the US from Matin Gallery in Los Angeles (starting at $1,500—a major investment). Go to Taizo Kuroda to see his work.
