This set of four mirrored coasters entitled The Night You Left are by Nir Hod.  Each set includes four different designs lined with digitally printed white powder that has a tactile quality. Decadent and eye-catching these are one of our best-sellers and are easily gift-able. Each set comes in a sleek custom black box.

The title of the set suggests a lonely narrative, a moment of solitude. “There is a certain magic in loneliness,” Hod explains, “you have to be alone to create.” He adds, “It’s not about drugs or glamour—it’s about the inside world, where you can dream and love and seek a greater truth—it’s about a feeling of being connected to something so human."

The Broken Juice Glass is a limited edition set of four different glasses conceived by Roy McMakin, exclusively for Artware Editions. For this edition, the artist has taken the simplicity of four small glasses and imposed on them a complex reworking of the aphorisms “THINGS CHANGE” and “CHANGE THINGS”. Because of their transparency and shape, McMakin is able to use the seriality of the glasses to play out a conceptual progression: the first glass is clear, on the second the phrasing is shown in its entirety on the front of the glass, and on the third and fourth the text is printed in a band around the glass but appears to be illegible. One must perfectly line up the fragmented text (a greater challenge from the third to the fourth) from the front through to the back of these to make sense of the parts. When the glasses are full, the front text appears incoherent but as the glass empties things change and all is clear.

McMakin’s art practice explores how functionality influences meaning within the medias of sculpture, photography, design, and architecture. He has had recent solo exhibitions at such prestigious venues as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; and Matthew Marks Gallery, New York. He lives and works in Seattle.

Cindy Sherman has created this Limoges porcelain 21-piece tea service in a limited edition after the original design commissioned by the MADAME DE POMPADOUR (née Poisson) in 1756 at the Manufacture Royale de Sevres.

The self-portrait image of the artist as Madame de Pompadour has been transferred onto porcelain through a complex process which requires up to 16 photo-silkscreens. Each piece is silk-screened and painted at Ancienne Manufacture Royale, then individually signed and numbered.

This service is available in four traditional 18th-century colors: apple green, rose. royal blue and yellow. Each color is in an edition of 75.

Letinsky then joined forces with Jose Noé Suro Salceda, owner of Ceramicasuro, a porcelain producer in Guadalajara, who is also an avid art collector and has a history of collaborating with contemporary artists like Judy Ledgerwood, Arturo Herrerra, Liam Gillick, Marcel Dzama, and Jorge Pardo. Together he and Letinsky set out to make the Molosco collection that maintains Letinsky’s artistic vision while being entirely usable.

This set of six espresso cups and saucers was designed by Sophie Calle for Bernardaud. Each cup and saucer tells the same story in French of Calle's experience having lunch with a man whose intelligence at first paralyzed but who eventually revealed himself as a regular mind only to leave her feeling the fool. Told in Calle's quick, humorous voice the story carries through from the saucer to the cup.

The story reads (translated from French to English):

(Saucer) His intelligence paralyzed me. He invited me to lunch with him. In order to prepare myself, I asked him what we were going to talk about. A derisory exercise in vain, but I also knew that it would calm me. Point-blank, he asked a question: What makes you get up in the morning? I thought all week. When the day came, I turned to him and he answered the question:

(Cup) The smell of coffee. We changed the subject. At the end of the meal we were served coffee, and I took the cup as a souvenir.

The pursuit of what she terms ‘quiet beauty’ has defined the work of American designer Deborah Ehrlich ever since she began producing pieces in the late 1990s.  — Aaron Peasley, WALLPAPER* 

Deborah Ehrlich began designing glassware in 1999 when she embarked on developing her exquisite sense of balance tied to function. Each design always begins with a simple sketch and she then collaborates with master glassblowers to bring her designs to life. Each piece is hand-blown in Sweden and intimately checked for flaws.

Swedish glass is paper thin, clear as water, and absolutely flawless.  When grouped together or seen as a single object the sculptural quality of each piece is undeniable but don't let that get in the way of their function. Swedish glass is stronger than the delicate look of the glasses but we do recommend hand-washing.

This tea service by Arman consists of 21 pieces, all of which appear to have been cut in half creating a series of forms that relate to the artist’s classical works of sliced violins, cellos, and other objects.

The set was manufactured in Limoges by Bernardaud. Each piece is individually stamped and numbered and comes in its original packaging. There are two variations of this set, both limited edition, one in cobalt blue and white (sold out), and the other in all white.

Keep your drinks or food hot or cold with this Magda Archer-designed thermos/flask featuring her Playful rabbit motif on blue background.  Plus, the lid doubles up as a handy cup.
