Pieces of Porcelain
$32—$149, exclusively at Gretel
Pieces of Porcelain by Mod Collective is designed and crafted by Valissa Butterworth, a fine art graduate living and working in Melbourne, Australia.
Once she completes the design, Butterworth prints them with 3D printers, then molds and casts each by hand using colored porcelain. Glazed with a clear gloss glaze on the inside, they’re safe for food. The exterior is left raw, the tactile surface a direct reflection of the technology used to print each part.
Brit design great Sir Terence Conran of Conran & Company has entered into a partnership with the very American retailer JCPenney. Obviously its following wannabe-thought-of-as-high-end collab happy Target, though this enterprise is meant to be long term. The collection is called Design by Conran for JCPenney, and the first wave of products (58 on the website) just launched in approximately 300 JCP stores (apparently monogram monikers are the way to go these days) and online. It doesn’t seem to be getting much hype, or maybe I’m just sorely out of the loop somehow, but the products are fantastic looking. So much so, I’m tempted to drive out to the ‘burbs for a touchy feel. More likely I’ll just order something. UPDATE: Many of these pieces are now on sale. Definitely time to shop; click through for the reduced prices.
