American atist Devin Wilde admits to possessing perfectionist tendencies, but relishes the fallibility of his chosen medium, clay. ‘I find the ceramic process to be an integral part of my personal growth,’ he says. ‘Working with clay is humanistic. It teaches me to see and appreciate the beauty and wholeness in imperfection.’
The Brooklyn-based ceramicist originally attended Stanford University to study architecture, then pivoted to work in digital and user experience design before moving into the more tangible practice of woodworking. After completing two artist residencies working with clay at the prestigious Penland School of Craft and Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Wilde founded his ceramics practice in 2023. In his first collection, he slyly incorporates the more structural tenets of these former disciplines into vessels and side tables, while summoning references to a range of artistic and design movements imbues his pieces with an assured eternality. This has drawn the attention of major retailers, including Lawson-Fenning and Spartan Shop, which carry his work, as well as a growing number of architects and designers who have commissioned pieces for major projects.

Guiding Light - Designer Joe Armitage follows his grandfather's footsteps in India, reissuing his elegant midcentury lamp and creating a new chandelier for Nilufar Gallery
For some of us, family inheritances I tend to be burdensome, taking up space, emotionally and physically, in both our minds and attics. For the London-based designer and architect Joe Armitage, however, a family heirloom has taken him somewhere lighter and brighter, across generations and continents, and into the path of Le Corbusier. This is the story of a lamp designed by Edward Armitage in India 72 years ago, which has today been expanded into a collection of lights by his grandson Joe.
