Architectural Pottery - Ceramics for a Modern Landscape

Architectural Pottery - Ceramics for a Modern Landscape is the first book to document the history of the innovative company Architectural Pottery, examining its significance to mid-century design and continued relevance today.

Architectural Pottery's minimalist designs revolutionized housewares by offering elegant and simple pots and planters that perfectly complemented the modern home, both indoors and outdoors. Since launching in 1950, their products have quickly become popular. Their work has also been exhibited in MoMA's acclaimed Good Design exhibitions alongside designs by Ray and Charles Eames.

Over three decades, Architectural Pottery developed innovative techniques in stoneware, expanded their range into fiberglass furniture, and collaborated with renowned designers such as Paul McCobb and sculptor David Cressey.

The book is illustrated with contemporary photographs and extensive archival material, including documents from founders Rita and Max Lawrence.
